Are we going through Global Warming or entering a New Ice Age?

Question

I Agree that man has contributed to the warming trend but I saw an interesting theory on the science channel the other night that according to geologists digging samples in the artic insist that all ice ages were preceded by a climate warming and that we are past due for another ice age. Have we already been through most of our global warming and now entering the new ice age?

Answer 1

there is no such thing as global warming,were in a cyclical cycle with a warmer sun(and no sunspot activity).Science cannot be based on consensus(opinion) but on fact,experimentation,and result,something they are not presently doing,according to Time magazine 30 years ago we were heading towards an ice age,now they're opinions changed,and for all the humans that have lived on this earth,burning fires,volcanos etc,I doubt that man can ever have that much effect on his environment/short of nuclear war

Answer 2

There is considerable evidence that previous ice ages have been preceded by periods of global warming similar to what is beginning now. The time frame for these changes is hundreds of thousands of years, so the present occupants of this planet will not know about it.

Unfortunately for us cool-climate people of European origins, the present period of warming is just beginning. Our children and grandchildren will live to see really serious changes in world climate, and much of it will not be fun.

Answer 3

We are expericing the La Nina. Yes we are going through Global Warming.

Answer 4

By the time they figure that out, we will be both be dead.
