I realize most of you are not scientists and the article and data in the link are pretty inside-baseball, but the synopsis is basically that Arctic sea ice, which was has been steadily declining over the decades because of global warming, has now suddenly begun forming extremely rapidly after getting off to a slow start. Sea ice coverage is currently at the highest level in 21 years and expanding rapidly.

This means the ocean heat cycle, which on the east coast of North America brings warmer water up from the tropics and melts sea ice in the Arctic, appears to have suddenly reduced to a trickle, causing ice to suddenly begin forming at a record pace. This will likely mean a much colder summer for most of northern and continental Europe, with a dramatically shortened growing season in far northern agricultural areas.

The water in the tropics is now so hot that it’s no longer flowing north in the Gulf Stream, which has caused the ice to suddenly form, while at the same time priming the Caribbean and southern US for a hurricane season that could begin as early as March, instead of June.

The end result will be a rapid accumulation of ice in the poles over the next decade as the planet gets hotter and hotter in the temperate and tropical regions, which will cause the polar regions to get much, much colder and the extremes get farther apart. The colder polar regions will see a rapid, massive build up of ice which will cause sea levels to begin to fall quickly, stranding many coastal communities from the water, causing problems with shipping and trade, as well as an increase in airborne dust and pollution as tidal flats become exposed and dry out as the sea level falls. In the tropics the effects will be exactly the opposite, as the ocean currents cease and water starts to pile up, with local sea levels rising quickly and inundating coastal cities.

And based on the data localized to ice formation on Hudson Bay over December, where formation began 12-15 days later than normal but then exceeded all previous records for formation, these changes will take place much faster than anticipated. In short, we will have a much different looking planet by Nov 4, 2024.

All of this destruction we are about to see will have brought to us by one madman who’ll stop at nothing to get back into power. And it will be the fault of anyone who votes for the republican ticket. [/quote]
