There are rumours that this global warming will lead to a mini Ice age ! Is it true ?

Answer 1

Like oh my god yeah! The whole climate will like totally shift and the whole world will be like soo cold!

...if the current trend of co2 entering the atmosphere were to continue, then yes. But by the time that could actually happen, there won't be any fossil fuel left or society will be against it. And even if people don't oppose it, the government will.

A lot of what you see in global warming awareness is the truth, but it is the truth of a worse case scenario if people don't change. But with gas prices being so high, people are going to be driving as less as possible and will want more fuel efficient transportation. Even major corporations and industries are switching over the environmentally healthy methods.

Rather than an ice age, there will inevitable be some climate shift. But that is nothingness than what has been scene ever since their has been a climate to be shifted. So there will be some cost to our has guzzling fetish, but luckily, this all happened in the 21st century and we will be able to make up for our mistakes.

Answer 2

Nope.

Here's the latest info on the subject... http://ff.org/centers/csspp/library/co2weekly/20070518/20070518_02.html

They conclude "The Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Current are more stable than previously thought." So they are not going to stop.

The last time they stopped was when a couple of huge lakes in the US were released into the sea when a glacier, that was acting as a dam, melted. There is nothing around today that could release that much water - that quickly - into the Atlantic. The Greenland ice does not hold anywhere near enough water, and could never melt fast enough to do the same.

Thus, there is no scenario available today that could cause it to happen again.

Answer 3

Possible, not probable. The "rumours" probably stem from the movie Day After Tomorrow. Even the producer and director admit that the movie is a dramatization of theoretical potential effects of Global Warming.

Answer 4

An ice age is actually cooler wetter summers and who couldn't use a cooler summer, and warmer wetter winters.
Rather an evening out more of temperature's
I don't know if anybody out there actually uses their brains but has anyone noticed that the globe isn't getting warmer it is just simply changing temperatures which it has been doing every 500- 300-50-and 10years for oh about the last 4000 years at least.
Every 500 years we have serious changes in weather patterns all over the world
Every 300 years we have weather changes but not quiet as drastic and the 500 year ones
every 50 years or so we have weather changes winters get colder or summers get wetter whatever, and then about every 10 years we get mild changes in the weather.
Since most of us weren't around 500 years ago or even 300 years ago it come as quiet a shock when these changes start happening (unless you have been studying that sort of thing) because we weren't around to remember the last time it did that.

Answer 5

I wouldnt think so...
I mean you're being told that the ice is melting and everything will turn into water and whatnot (not really just saying) which in other words means the world is "hot"..."warming up", I guess I can say, therefore..why would we go into an Ice Age...just an opinion of mine..

Answer 6

to ensure that a real ice age to happen, this is needed that temperatures interior the summertime drop to such low ranges that it effectively maintains to be iciness all 300 and sixty 5 days around. Snow that falls interior the iciness as a result never does soften, yet fairly maintains to amass, and the tip result's an 'ice age', and the introduction of ice sheets as much as two miles thick, the outcomes of annual accumulation of snow conceal over many centuries. Ice an prolonged time persist with a trend this is commonplace by utilising differences interior the varieties of the Earth's Orbit around the solar and differences interior the earth's tilt and rotation. The Earth does not persist with a wonderfully around orbit, yet fairly it follows an eccentric elliptical orbit, with a cycle of one hundred thousand years. the quantity of solar gentle achieving the earth varies finding on how severe the area of the earth is on the optimal of the elliptic as nicely because of the fact the version of distance for the time of each season. The earth additionally wobbles because it spins, as much as 23.5 ranges, a cycle which takes 40-one,000 years. This wobble additionally motives the situation of the earth in its elliptical orbit to alter, a phenemona universal because of the fact the precession of equinoxes, which follows a cycle of 23,000 years. Ice an prolonged time happen whilst all 3 of those aspects are in favorable alignment ensuing interior the smallest volume of summer season heat temperature interior the Northern hemisphere whilst summer season happens on the farthest factor interior the Earth's elliptical orbit. summer season temperatures as a result plunge to iciness like situations, and snow accumulates from 300 and sixty 5 days to a minimum of 300 and sixty 5 days fairly than melting. further, the ice age ends whilst the approach is the choice, ensuing in greater effective summer season warmth, and summers which ensue on the closest factor interior the elliptical orbit.

Answer 7

Balderdash! Poppycock! These rumours are all a clever ruse being perpetuated by a host of self-interest co-conspirators like oil companies (trying to get you to stock up on heating oil - and drive up prices); media weather people seeking to improve their ratings; architects hawking the latest "do-it-yourself" igloo designs; canoe/pontoon manufacturers ; communists (whose business IS conspiracy); and a disgruntled former presidential candidate groping to find a more effective, "original" strategy to reclaim the White House!!!

Answer 8

would take many centuries, yes. thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, so dont jump off a bridge or anything. However, many years off or not, do we not have the responsibility, during our very short time on earth, to leave it as we had it left for us? If not better?

Answer 9

We are heading for another Ice Age because we aren't in one now.

Answer 10

No. That's just a failed theory that's been floating around since the '70s. We'll all "go up in flames" LONG before the World ever cools off... :(
