Remember all that Strum und Drang over the impending ice age back in the '70s?
No?
Well, it's back. Bigger and better than ever.

Now that the global warming thing isn't getting any traction (and with the blizzard that is going to hit the East coast this weekend, the GWH [Global Warming Hysterics] are even more frustrated). Thus, they have reverted to the Impending Ice Age ruse to cover their bets. Apparently, the Impending Ice Age has been held at bay by Man Caused Global Warming, which,to their way of thinking is a Very Bad Thing. We should have gone ahead and gotten started on the Impending Ice Age and gotten it over with. But NOOOOOOOO, bad human beings had to interfere and now look where we are.

At any rate, here is the article:
Global Warmists Angry Half The Earth Isn’t Covered In Ice

Written by James Taylor, Federalist on 21 January 2016.

ice age earthA newly published study indicates human-caused global warming starting shortly after the Industrial Revolution may have helped the Earth narrowly avert a catastrophic ice age, and global warming advocates and their mainstream media allies are very angry about it. Yes, really.

For the past 3 million years, the Earth has undergone a regular cycle of long ice age glaciations occasionally interrupted by short warm periods. The glaciations last approximately 100,000 years and the warm periods last an average of only 10,000 years. Our present warm period has been in existence for 10,000 years, leading many scientists to worry that a new ice age glaciation may be imminent.

A study in the science journal Nature examined the natural cycles that cause the cyclical glaciations and warm periods and concluded that by the 1800s—after 500 years of cooling temperatures during the Little Ice Age—the conditions were at hand for the Earth to end its 10,000-year warm period and plunge into another full-blown glaciation.

During glaciations, ice sheets more than a mile deep cover much of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Nature study concluded human-caused global warming may have been the deciding factor preventing the plunge into another ice age. The study also noted that ongoing human-caused global warming may be preventing such a plunge even today.

We Want an Ice Age Now

The Christian Science Monitor published an article Thursday by correspondent Husna Haq claiming it is horrible news that the Earth is not plunging into another ice age glaciation.

“While it may appear to be good news that humans have successfully delayed the next ice age, it’s actually not,” wrote Haq. “Ice ages play a significant role in shaping the landscape and leaving behind fertile soil for Earth’s civilizations. They carve channels in Earth, leaving behind rivers and lakes.”

Got that? It is a horrible thing that thousands of feet of glacial ice do not cover New York, Chicago, London, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Warsaw, and Berlin today because 100,000 years from now—when the glaciation would finally end—there would be pretty new lakes and rivers left behind, along with fertile soil for whatever species may or may not exist on Earth 100,000 years from now.

Population centers with tens of millions of people would be literally destroyed—including the eradication of the entire nations of Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Ireland, and all of the Baltic nations—and billions of people would die of starvation as a result of related crop failures and other climate disasters. This is what global warming advocates and the mainstream media want to happen because it is better for billions of people to die a painful natural death than to live in the temperate world of today as a result of human-caused global warming.

Nobody knows what makes a "climate scientist."

A Ph.D. in stormology?

A Ph.D. in AlGoreology?

It is ALWAYS a problem when some politician who merely wants your tax money to create some vast federal governance comes to you saying he understands climate.

Mann, Director of Penn State’s Earth System Science Center, explained: “There is peer-reviewed science that now suggests that climate change will lead to more of these intense, blizzard-producing nor’easters, for precisely the reason we’re seeing this massive storm — unusually warm Atlantic ocean surface temperatures (temperatures are in the 70s off the coast of Virginia).”

When you mix extra moisture with “a cold Arctic outbreak (something we’ll continue to get even as global warming proceeds),” as Mann points out, “you get huge amounts of energy and moisture, and monster snowfalls, like we’re about to see here.”

Mann’s bottom line:

While critics like to claim that these massive winter storms are evidence against climate change, they are actually favored by climate change.

I'm not a scientist, but alarm bells go off for me when a person tells me everything supports their theory.

That is what the Left now claims:

1) If it is warm, that supports Man-Caused Climate Change.

2) If it is cold and snowy, that also supports Man-Caused Climate Change.

3) If it is not particularly warm or especially cold, that supports their theory too.

Believe me, johnny, alarm bells go off for me too when we have a very unusual dramatically warm record breaking December, followed by a very unusual dramatically snowy record breaking January, interspersed among a string of relatively stable but record warm years.

I'm surprised that alarms a dimwit like you.
But it doesn't alarm the rest of the turd patrol here for some reason.

And for the record, it isn't "the Left" that claims these things.
It's scientists that claim these things, dummy.
"The Left" is just smart enough to go with the scientists, where "the Right" believes God will make everything all right no matter how self-destructive we are.
#67577
I was wondering, johnny, are you at all worried that scientists overwhelmingly say that everything in the natural world supports their theory of gravity?
It must bother you that airplanes 'floating' in the air seem to contradict what we know about gravity, and thus we should question the "conventional wisdom" behind the "gravity" phenomenon.
Scientists saying that the existence of 'floating' airplanes also support the current theory of gravity must be worrisome to you.

That kind of consensus is pretty frightening for you, I imagine, and sets off alarm bells.
If I were you I would go step off a cliff in order to put my mind at ease.

But if you lack the courage of your convictions (as I suspect you do) you could just stand at the edge, marvel at the view, and whine about how those scientific know-it-alls, along with the politicians who believe them, are to be ridiculed and scorned for telling you you are about to plunge to your death if you take another step.

As usual, AssClown Loser Lucky is unable to address a single point in the OP.
So he throws his usual tantrum and calls names and hurls insults in two separate posts that go largely ignored.
What a buffoon.

Is Clown then saying....scientists are his GOD? :lol:

You really need to take an "English as a First Language" class, sillydummy.

There is no need of a god of any sort in intelligent discussion.
It is not some sort of default position people are forced to take.
Only the simple minded can't escape the ludicrous concept.

It's out there. But it's not comprehensible to someone who believes Bader and Ginsburg are two different people. :lol:

As always, you brought it on yourself, JustFreedManMe. Sadly, you lead others down your path of happy, willful ignorance.

The punk bitch and junkie pothead stoner AssClown Loser Lucky has no game at all.

Winning.

Hope AssClown Loser Lucky is staying warm in his single wide there in South Carolina. At least the snow drifts hide the cement blocks that support his humble abode.
After the floods that plagued his "holler" this past spring AssClown Loser Lucky has to wonder if the God he denies is trying to get his attention.

Or he just gets stoned and forgets about it.
#67665
AssClown Loser Lucky cannot address a single truthful assertion in my post, as the wind blown snow rattles the cardboard in the empty windows of his single wide parked up the holler in a particularly desolate and poverty stricken section of South "Squeal lak a peeg!" Carolina.
