Default Re: more scary stuff

a while ago i read a really cool article on global warming and ocean currents.

if you accept that the globe is warming and climates are changing and ice is melting, then we can move forward. its not really important WHY its happeing, at least not for the purpose of the theory. it could be normal periodic climate change, the evils of industry, volcanoes, divine punishment, or the butterfly effect. doesn't matter at all. there is a general concensus among the global scientific community that we are getting warmer, and the only people saying otherwise are.. well, nevermind that. lets procede:

the short Version is that we get warmer, ice caps melt thus shifting cold water currents in the atlantic ocean, thus altering the main climate regulating mechanism on the globe. what we end up with, is an ice age. possibly one that can occur during our lifetimes, and Last for several hundred years.

the actual article was very detailed and the research seemed thorough, but I just cant remember enough of it to give a proper description.

If Fyron wants we can continue to argue the meaning of words, the sources of links, the politics of the posters or the appropriateness of the Posts. It certainly won't be a debate about Ozone depletion.
That's why I have stopped answering to Posts of Fyron a long time ago, and most of the time don't even bother to read them.
yeah, a sharp guy with alot of good ideas. but he's often too pleased with himself and either cant conceed, or agree to disagree. even if you assume that he is right 100% of the time, he often has problems admitting that he is actually in agreement with someone else whom is arguing for his side - usually because of semantics. The only larger arse on the entire forum is, well, me.
