Global Warming and the next Ice age
-By Ashely Crisp (Guru Dog)
This one is a simple idea that was formed by linking the current ideas on Global Warming, and the current models on how ice aes start.
Global Warming does not, unlike what most people assume, mean warming of the globe. While this may occour, it is probably not compleatly due to the process of Globa warming. What Global warming does do, however, is cause more variation in the current weather. Thi basically means cold winters are that bit colder, summers are that bit warmer, and wet weather is that bit wetter. Now, imagine that, scientists doing ice core samples in Antartica (Using acient iceto judge what the climate and atmosphere was like many years ago) have discovered that just before every ice ace that has happened, there is an odd and unexplained rise in Carbon Diozide, the main ingredient in Global warming. I'm not going to suggest how this got there (Thoug I have many ideas), but this would seem to support the theory below, which draws on the infomation provided:
Global Warming caused more varied weather, and one particular winter, caused more now and ice to form then is useually the case. Not, it is thought that if there is suffcient ice, the suns rays will be reflected, leading to lower tempretures, thus causing a chain reaction that triggers an ice age. So far noone knows how the extra ice gets there. I prepose that it is Global Warming that causes this to occour. However, other items may fall into place. The earths orbit and 'wobbal', which won't go into the gory details now, also probably play a part. Currently those last two are favrable for ice age conditions.
Oh, are we causing Global Warming? Now there is an intreaging thought, no?
