[quote=Anonymous]People read that an ice age is coming and expect it to start next Tuesday, and when it doesn’t they think science itself is wrong. And this disparity in time frames is what makes current warming so terrifying. Ice ages occur when the earth COOLS by around 4-6 degrees C below holocene averages. This takes a looooong time to happen. Like tens of thousands of years. Without our input, the planet was on track to slooooowly cool over the next 50,000 years. That’s around 5 times longer than the recent Holocene epoch during which human civilization flowered. But anthropogenic activities disrupted this process. We are now on track to HEAT the planet by close to 4 degrees C within a couple of hundred years. That’s insanely fast. Natural systems simply cannot adapt to that.[/quote]
