I know, in the Netherlands is the same. I'm having a bad feeling about this... I know they say that the earth is supposed to cook itself in its own greenhouse gases in 1 billion years, but I do have the feeling we humans are making that time frame shorter and shorter. By the way, I was reading this in a science book last night D: I pray to God this is not it.
Still time for it to get colder, lets enjoy it while its here
It's true we're putting more CO2 into the air, but I wouldn't worry too much about it, we're at the lowest atmospheric CO2 levels since it was locked up in the coal in the carboniferous period.
400 parts per million at the moment.
It was something like 2,500 ppm in the Jurassic, yes the ice caps melted and sea level was slightly higher, but life was prolific and we didn't have a runaway greenhouse effect
The whole global warming story is to keep folks minds off the alternative - the actual fact that we're still in an ice age.
During the present ice age there have been 4 interglacial periods when the ice retreated to where it is now, some of them were longer and warmer than this present one which has only been 10,000 years, a very short time geologically speaking.
Most of the glaciers that governments previously said were retreating are advancing
When the ice last covered northern Europe there were probably a million or so humans world wide, so easy enough for them to move south.
So where do the 100's of millions of us go if the ice spreads again? Syria? Egypt? Mexico?
