Mini Ice Age 2015-2035



Mini Ice Age 2015-2035


Here’s a wiki link on the Little Ice Age: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age

Here’s on link to a “pdf” article on the subject:  http://www.meteo.psu.edu/holocene/public_html/shared/articles/littleiceage.pdf

There are many other links on this subject, too.

Obviously the Global Warming crowd will often have another point of view.

I, myself, a Georgia Tech kind of geek, did my own independent study on this subject a couple of years ago, and I also confidently predicted (and made some plans for) a long cold spell like is better predicted in this post. In my study I focused on the effect of the sun on we humans, which I still believe is dominant (that is the effect of the sun on the earth).

Those with lots of cold season hunting clothes or long johns should be in pretty good shape if you buy this argument. And the closer to the Equator one lives, the better in this scenario.  Now reduced growing seasons and lands to grow food will stress our food supplies in all likelihood, too. Our threats will probably be from both fellow humans and even wildlife, who will get cold and hungry, too. But our distant ancestors survived the last mini ice age and so can we if it even comes to pass. Now it probably will not be a happy time in many ways, and may last a long time, like for several or more generations.  The last mini ice age lasted hundreds of years, I also believe.
