Cyclical Ice age gets hold of the earth – how severe will it

#1 Postby cctxhurricanewatcher » Tue Jan 10, 2006 2:24 pm

Ice ages come every 11,000 years. A mega ice age comes every 105,000 years. Both are due between now and 2012. The 11,000 year cycle happens because of increase and decrease of cyclical underwater volcanic eruption. The 105,000 mega ice age happens because of the changing shape of the orbit of the earth around the sun – circular to elliptical and then back to circular every 105,000 years.

Both the cycles are overdue. They have actually started. Europe right now is in deep freeze. Japan and South Korea are experiencing the worst snowfall ever. Even New Delhi is experiencing the worst ever fog and cold weather. Do not get surprised to see New Delhi experiencing the weather of Moscow, Miami experiencing the weather of Chicago.

Since the 105,000 cycle is overdue, the freeze can be real severe by 2012 and beyond. Some Geologists believe that global warming is causing the freeze because of manipulation of warm ocean currents and streams. The manipulation has occurred for many reasons. Global warming from human civilization is one reason. But much more serious is the cyclical increase in under ocean volcanoes and stretched geysers over miles. Such an eruption has recently been discovered in Indian Ocean stretching 45 miles releasing superheated steam to 750 degree F.

Because of this extra heat ocean is getting evaporated. The resulting precipitation is forming the snow and eventually ice. In the last ice age, Montreal in Canada was under two miles of ice. NY was less than 400 feet of ice. The southern US has no ice but had the weather of Canada with very often snow fall.

With our current technology, our civilization will survive the smaller cycle – the 11,000 year cycle that can produce a mini ice age. Food will be scarce and much of the northern hemisphere will be under deep ice with little life there. Serious migration of population will take place from north to south.

The terrestrial civilization cannot survive the mega ice age that comes every 105,000 years. In that case the ocean levels will fall by 500 feet on an average. The whole earth will be under deep ice. How do we know if the ice age that is engulfing the earth is smaller or the mega one?

Some geologists, astrophysicists and scientists believe if the mega ice age is starting then certain parts of the world will be very cold and under deep snow for a few years. At the same time many parts of the world will experience very mild winter. El Nino which is due in 2008-2009 can cause the mega ice age to come. A super volcano in Toba or Yellow Stone can also cause the mega ice age. Earth’s current orbit around the Sun suggests that any of these will instantaneously ( two months for example) put the earth into deep freeze. A burst of cosmic dusts from the center of the galaxy can also cause the same. Severe weather patterns that is taking hold of the earth are not very good signs






The question are:

Will the GFS be able to pick this up 400 hours out? :?:

Will JB underhype it? :lol:

Will Air Force Met refuse recognize it as an Arctic Attack when the Gulf of Mexico is frozen over with the penguins and polar bears dancing on Galveston Island? :eek:

Will the west Texas moutains be the host of the 2014 winter olympics? :wink:

Answer: Yes...AFM will refuse to recognize it because AFM will again correctly forecast that this too is a crock of hooey and will not occur. :D :wink:

What you need to watch for is the one I agree with...you can expect that one to happen :wink:

Now when that one is...I have no clue. :?: :P

"Crock of hooey" is right.

India Daily is like the National Inquirer. Interesting that they pick the year 2012, which anyone who reads any doom and gloom sites will recognize it as the last year of the Mayan calendar, which some people perceive as the end of the world. 6 more years. ;)

I think AFM will be long gone and forgotten before there are any polar bears and penguins dancing on Galveston - at least outside of Moody Gardens. :D

PS - in nature, polar bears and penguins don't cohabitate. They are from opposite poles.

Jschlitz, I think you could forget about your palm trees if that happens. ;)

My name will live on FOREVER! :D

And...there could be some sort of reversal...where the poles flip...and slam together at 30N/95W.

It could happen.

well it is true that china and Japan are seeing thier coldest weather in over 20 years, and it is also true that New Dehli is seeing thier first freezes since 1935. These are all remarkable...espcailly since we are supposedly seeing "global warming". I think a mini-ice age is possible over the next 100 years...but I think we don't have to worry about the "mega" one for a long time. By mini, I am refering to an overall world temp. drop of 1-3 degrees with areas of 5-10 degrees colder in the eastern US and Europe, especailly since the Gulf stream has been reported officially to be slowing. Lots to watch...but for now I will worry about the next week...not the next 50 years.[/i]

Yep...I think I might have to relocate to Venus if that happens :D

Very interesting article. However, how come SSTs and SST anomalies continue to remain warm and tropical activity continues to be highly active if the article is truthful?

For those of you not familiar with the India Daily website, take anything you read on it with the smallest grain of salt you can find. They use a lot of points based on atmospheric and sometimes anal extraction to write their stories. Consider it "entertainment" reading and not much more.

The point is noted that the cold events have happened before therefore are NOT indicative of anything other than the patterns that caused the extreme events before have repeated to some degree. Extremes of heat or cold have been with us for a long time and are no indicator either which way insofar as any climate change is concerned. Finally though, last time I checked (which was last week), the Earth's orbit was anything but circular and that we were at perihelion some 4.5 million kilometers closer to the Sun than the mean orbital distance of 149.5 million km.

Actually before all the last great ice ages, the number of terrible storms supposedly went up. In this case, the storms and warming of the oceans may be what leads to the ice age. the warmer waters melt the poles and thus lots of fresh water is added to the oceans. This fresh water mixes into the Gulf stream, and because of that it causes the stream to slow or stop. The Gulf stream is responsible for mlld winters (compared to what they COULD be) in the eastern United states and Europe. If this stream were to shut down, then this would no longer occur, thus winters in the eastern U.S. and Europe would become much much colder. It would also disrupt the earth in a number of other ways. Some once lush areas would become dead deserts, and some dead deserts would become lush areas. The whole atmospheric pattern would be messed up, and everything would change. Recent studies show that the Gulf stream IS slowing...so this scenario is not too far fetched at all. As for a major and total ice age though...I think that will not happen in our life time, our kids lifetime, or even thier kids lifetime.
