Ice mass tends to cool the air, and normally those cold air masses come down from the North and that is what brought the freezing temperatures. We have not had that yet. Instead, we are getting warm air blown up from the south Atlantic. That, combined with the normal influence of the Gulf Strom, is keeping Germany unusually warm. [/quote] There is indeed a good chance that this could be the real "problem", i.e. lead to the climate change we are talking about nowadays. But unlike what most people think, the effect of"global warming" will not result into warmer climates, but indeed colder. Because the melting ice cools down the Gulf Stream, which will no longer warm up our coast as usual. We are only talking about a few years so I've heard... On the other hand I have to say I do agree with DL-44 a lot, because what we can observe now does not mean much over a long period of time. There is a pollution problem nowadays, which we should tackle; as far as global warming is concerned, I feel we still need more information to understand what could be its outcome. As far as I'm concerned, I can only observe that this kind of fluctuations have always been happening. It would not be our first Ice Age, or our last one. [edit]Now just a simple thought, which might sound slightly daft, but perhaps not that much: what if the "global warming" was simply and solely resulting from 7-8 billion people and God knows how many animals, and their wastes? Yes we do pollute our planet with non-environment friendly crap, yes we do consume energy and water in an atrociously selfish way, but what if this was only [i]part [/i]of the problem? What if we [i]weren't [/i]living this way? Would the planet's temperature stay even? Would there be no global warming and resulting ice ages? I very much doubt so. This is only a cycle, which we might be accelerating, but if it means for the current species, including humans, to go through a natural selection, I'm all for it.[/edit] [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/5434]kimson[/url] on 01-11-2007 12:44)[/small] Loading...
