Global boiling didn’t work out, so we’re back to the ice age scare

They used Spock in 1978 to tell us an ice would be here by now

At least an ice age is actually a threat. Global warming has only brought prosperity to earth's inhabitants.

Yes because if the polar ice caps melt seal levels will rise, but if more of the planets water turns to ice sea levels will also rise.

Trust the science. This is more settled than vaxports.

Interesting how everying brings rising sea levels

I was just thinking the same thing.

inviting a new ice age and rising sea levels

1) We are currently in an Ice Age, and have been for the past 5M yrs.
2) The terminology is return to glaciation or a stadial period within our Ice Age.
3) Return to glaciation would/will result in sea level decline, not rise.

During the last ice age 22,000 years ago the sea level was almost 400 feet lower than now.

I almost posted about this earlier.

The underlying research gets a bit heady, but the nutshell is "manmade global warming is causing currents to slow, which will cause regional cooling but it's still warming (based on temperature records going back to the tail end of the pre-industrial age, which was also the end of the Little Ice Age, but ignore that) and that's bad."

Oh, and "we have absolutely no clue if this has ever happened before, we're not even really sure it's happening now, but we're going to act like we know all those things and the result is bad."

that there is in that big ball in the sky has a lot to do with it

Has almost (99.9999999%) to do with it. The 0.0000001% is energy from cosmic rays and neutrinos.

If we let egomaniacs like Bill Gates or even Elon Musk do terraforming crap here they will mess it up big time. Latter wants to block sunlight with a big network of solar/orbiting data centers.

This movie was from 1979, about a second Ice age.
