Yo do know that ICE AGES are trigerd by global warming right?

You saw that movie too, eh? "Day after tomorrow rocked". Dennis Quaid was pretty good in it. Emmy Rossum proved her versatility yet again, and Jake Gyllenhaal did his standard "semi-intelligent pot-head" routine.

I'd like to know how the scientists who came up with that theory determined it. It's an interesting and scary thought I wonder if there's any proof in the frozen tundras that support those ideas.

Day after tomorrow? What is that? I saw a report on the discovery channel and searched scientific journals to confirm it. The evidence came from the Antarctic and glaciers around the world. Glaciers grow like trees one layer per year and you can count the years the same way buy taking core samples. The ice in a glacier is like a time capsule. You can not only tell how fast the glacier grew each year, but you can tell what plants were growing all over the world that year. Where is how the pattern goes, the scientist find the pollen from the plants we have now for thousands of layers/years in the permanent ice all over the world. Than they find larger amounts of greenhouse gases in the ice and the balance of pollen changes to tropical plants (the world was getting wormer.) after that they fined that the glaciers growth explodes and plant pollen nearly disappears. It takes hundreds of years for pollen to reappear in the glaciers and than it is almost all from cold weather plants that you find in the ice age tundra! This usually lasts from 10 to 20 thousand years! Now who wants to know how long it takes to go from tropical earth to deep freeze? 10 years! It only takes 10 years to go from garden to frozen wasteland.

Now one know how hot it will have to be to trigger this but they have found what leads up to it. The weather starts to fluctuate all over the world. Did you see the last hurricane season? How about the rain in places that should have been getting snow this winter. Wasn’t a large part of Europe on fire not long ago because of the driest year in recorded history. How about that mudslide in the Philippines? Closed buy over a month of non stop rain? We will see what is next.

Well I guess I better move to the equator so I stand a chance of passing along my lineage to the next great population

Quite the opposite, actually, look for higher ground would be best.

Yep! We are @#$%^. Global warming is real and now. We have the means, but not the interest (politically) to make the necessary changes. Capitolism is one of the things that has made our country the GREATEST, but it can also be our downfall. When our government makes environmental policies, these policies are not made for environmental reasons, but for economic reasons. Very backword thinking I think.

Something that I find interesting is that there is a body of scientist that claims the EPA is partially responsible for global warming. How, one might ask? By requiring a reduction of particle and sulfer emissions from diesel, and coal exhaust.

They claim that the emissions create a mirror effect which blocks and reflects sunlight back into space, counteracting some of the damaged created by excess CO2 production. Now, with reduced emissions, sun energy gingerly penetrates the atmosphere and causes a gentle warming of the earth making a nice souffle'.

I remember in the 70's the enviromentalist were promoting wind turbines. And were protesting against nuclear energy. Now they are protesting wind turbines because they destroy the landscape, and kill migratory birds. Furthermore, they are promoting nuclear energy. What 30 years does to an arguement...

All I know is this, I do not know the answer...
