Global Warming leads to an ice age? Yes, and not just in Europe. Fresh water is less dense then salt water so if you get large quantities of Fresh water entering the oceans it take a long time to mix. In fact cold fresh water is still less dense then warm salt water so the gulf stream is denser then melting glacier water off of the Greenland Ice Sheet or the Artic ice caps. The end result is that instead of warm water being transmitted to Europe from the gulf stream you have a large body of cold water. This creates massive climate cooling and results in a chain reaction where you get a mini-ice age or possibly a real ice age. Depending upon how bad the cooling is it will spill over to other areas and as snow builds up you will find the entire northern hemisphere experiencing cooling due to the build up of ice. |

Didn't you see the "Day After?" Global warming means it gets colder. I saw it, and the 3 "hurricanes" as the mechanism was
![]() The Gulfstream doesn't shut down, it migrates north and south. The air masses/winds coming off North America keep W Europe warmer. Ice advances are driven by orbital cycles, not cold fresh water entering the oceans. Thanks to the fact the Earth reached its maximum tilt ~7,000 years ago and is still closer to the max than the minimum, the northern hemisphere is experiencing warmer weather. When the tilt is near the minimum, then the ice sheets grow. Fluctuations, like the mini ice age, may have several causes which include melting ice and volcanic activity, but the motor driving the ice age is bigger than where warm Atlantic water starts sinking. regardless of what we do to the atmosphere today, people will need a greenhouse atmosphere when the Earth's tilt approaches the minimum in a few thousand years. |
