Winter Is Coming: World Facing Mini-Ice Age Starting Early Next Year

[zorgon]

I understand that the scientific community is making an effort to find some sort of solution; but Ma Nature is fickle and me thinks cares not about the pests[us] crawling around on her skin...

LOL  True enough  Man says: "We have not seen a tsunami higher that 25 feet, so lets build a wall 30 feet tall"

Ma Nature says: " Oh yeah?" and tosses a 40 foot tsunami obliterating that wall

from my perspective, hu-mons need to wake up and learn to think again; forget about all the toys and focus on living, or rather they are going to if Ma Nature throws us another major curve ball... and she will...

Move south 

We have a LOT of room in the four corner states here. Sure a lot is desert but there are vacant houses all over the states I have many here in my area.

If you look back in history, this region has been stable since the Dinosaurs roamed here. That is why we find the bones of dinos here. We also find mammoth skeletons. That is significant because that means when the ice moved south last time, the mammoth moved to Nevada to escape it

Remember the Sumatra Tsunami? The elephants broke free leaving their keepers scratching there heads. NO animals died (save one trapped rabbit) during that tsunami.  200 zoo keepers did.  The natives? They said "No fishing today boys, we are going to the shrine to worship" Shrine was a the top of a mountain. No natives died in that Tsunami.  Tourists say" "oh look tide gone out  Lets collect all the pretty seashells!"  200,000 tourists died.

Moral of the story? "Ice age a commin, follow the Mammoths south!"

When the seas last rose....

Can you find YOUR home?



The extent of the ice last time...



Follow the Wooly Mammoth!

A few years back, we had huge losses in bees (Due to an imported disease) and was a huge concern to our Agriculture export markets.

Now we are seeing a rapid recovery in bee populations around the country ....

Great that it is better now, I read that at some point U.S. farmers were
importing Aussie bees for pollination.

Grow anything and one would realize the importance of bees.
Pollination is something we take for granted, I'll say. I had to resort to
using the paintbrush on my veggies this year, however it works to some
degree its not anywhere close to efficient as bees.

Not on that map, but I can see it in this one, Portugal was in the forests area.

ever seen the movie "the day after tomorrow" or read the coming global superstorm?

ETA: seems we posted at the same time with the same thought, Z...

I saw that movie too. But was kinda sad that only the northern hemisphere of the planet was affected. I wanted to see the WHOLE planet socked with ice...LOL.

Americans and Europeans tend to forget that the South Pole is not a tropical paradice but that said the Northern Hemisphere did get more ice coverage

Glaciation of the Southern Hemisphere was less extensive because of current configuration of continents. Ice sheets existed in the Andes (Patagonian Ice Sheet), where six glacier advances between 31,500 and 11,900 BCE in the Chilean Andes have been reported. Antarctica was entirely glaciated, much like today, but the ice sheet left no uncovered area. In mainland Australia only a very small area in the vicinity of Mount Kosciuszko was glaciated, whereas in Tasmania glaciation was more widespread. An ice sheet formed in New Zealand, covering all of the Southern Alps, where at least three glacial advances can be distinguished. Local ice caps existed in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, where in three ice areas remnants of the Pleistocene glaciers are still preserved today



I would image that as things cool down we here in Vegas would see snow in winters and the Desert converted back to lush vegetation... I can deal with that  LOL

Yawl stay up north and build Igloos 

[zorgon]

Seems Igloos have come a long way  LOL

According to your water map here    I would be a 100 miles or so from the water and a couple hundred from the ice sheets; if it starts to look like this again I will be loaded up and waddling towards the southwest 

save all the ferret poop, we may need it for fertilizer...

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Sept 15 2014 – Another All-Time Record

Zorgon has been saying for years that global warming will TRIGGER the next ice age...

Zorgon has posted several times the results of the Vostok Ice Core readings



Watch the move "The Day After Tomorrow"

Yes they exaggerate but the MECHANISM they show is 100% accurate

Global warming, a NATURAL cycle (see graph above)  causes ice melt. This in turn changes the salininity of sea water and that changes ocean current.  That in turn triggers super cell storms that bring down the cold for the next ice age

LOOK at the graph  The change is QUICK  over a 20-50 year sudden change. And the Earth has more cold periods than it does warm spells

That is why I moved to Vegas  well BELOW the last mega ice age maximum reach.  Yes we have food stock, blankets and lots of firewood... but a drop in temp down here would be welcome as we are still seeing 100F during the day

I tweeted this image and was asked for a source...   The server here is not the best.  [grin]  Where did this graphic come from?  I did a search but found nothing.

I did a search and it brought me to The Living Moon as the first hit on google.

This graph and the graphs below are drawn from the data gathered from the Vostok ice core samples and, unlike the tree ring data, is scientifically sound and uncontroversial. Looking at the above graph, there have been six periods in the last 415,000 years when global temperature exceeded today's temperature by as much as nine degrees. 10,000 years ago, the global temperature was five degrees higher than today. Hey, wait a minute, polar bears have been around longer than 10,000 years, haven't they? Yeah, they've been around for about 200,000 years. Which means that in the world according to Gore, they should have gone extinct twice by now.

[Amaterasu]

Well, yeah, but who created the graph?  Was it created by z?  Linking here just shows We have the graphic attached.  I want the source of the image, not TLM.  [smile]

"20-50 year sudden change"? That graph's axis is in thousands of years.

More seriously, from an astrological point of view I would be expecting global cooling more than warming.  Aquarius astrologically is the last of the three Winter signs, and therefore the coldest.  Uranus is a frozen planet.

So yes; my guess is that this coming cold snap won't be the last one.  Come to think of it, that's probably also why we've had what seems like warming.  We will go to the warm extreme first, and then the system will swing back to cold in an attempt to rebalance itself.

Unfortunately I have no firewood. Or fireplace for that matter. Apartment dweller here. Suppose the old "adapt, improvise, overcome" paradigm will have to be dusted off. "And right quick.", as the saying goes.

some times it is best to have some friends or a group to help each other...makes thoughts if impending doom much less stressful

I think we will all be tested
