Another hit for the Cs? - How Ice Ages Begin

[Nević Nenad]

One wonders if all the "strange noises" being heard around the planet - assuming some of them are real, which I think is the case - are the sounds of this shift?

And also, the cold snap over Eastern Europe, Russia, and Siberia, brought this to mind; "One change to occur in 21st Century is sudden glacial rebound, over Eurasia first, then North America. Ice ages develop much, much, much faster than thought."

With wolf super packs roaming that part of the earth, it could be indicative of an adaptation to changing climate. Wow all this in the first ~2 months of 2012.

Where did you read about that wolf super packs?

I see. Thank you :)

Well these part of the transcripts makes living in America a lil more tolerable. And now that I am moving further south, the threat of glacier rebound is less scary. I am curious to see how Eurasia develops with regards to the glacial rebound and how North America will follow suit if this becomes a hit. Never a dull moment here on the BBM.

Living up in Canada thought, this is the mildest winter I've had in years. With lots of freezing rain in January instead of meters of snow and freezing cold !

Calm before the storm ?

Ice Ages Start and End So Suddenly, "It's Like a Button Was Pressed," Say Scientists

Q: (L) All right, were those given in the order in which they are occurring? The fourth being the one that's coming later?

A: Maybe, but remember this: a change in the speed of the rotation may not be reported while it is imperceptible except by instrumentation. Equator is slightly "wider" than the polar zones. But, this discrepancy is decreasing slowly currently. One change to occur in 21st Century is sudden glacial rebound, over Eurasia first, then North America. Ice ages develop much, much, much faster than thought. [Discussion of new scientific theory recently presented that the earth is expanding.]

and now we have this article on SOTT:

Last Ice Age took just SIX months to arrive

It took just six months for a warm and sunny Europe to be engulfed in ice, according to new research.

Previous studies have suggested the arrival of the last Ice Age nearly 13,000 years ago took about a decade - but now scientists believe the process was up to 20 times as fast.

In scenes reminiscent of the Hollywood blockbuster The day After Tomorrow, the Northern Hemisphere was frozen by a sudden slowdown of the Gulf Stream, which allowed ice to spread hundreds of miles southwards from the Arctic.

Geological sciences professor William Patterson, who led the research, said: 'It would have been very sudden for those alive at the time. It would be the equivalent of taking Britain and moving it to the Arctic over the space of a few months.'

The subsequent mini Ice Age lasted for 1,300 years and was probably caused by the sudden emptying of Lake Agassiz in Canada, which burst its banks and poured freezing freshwater into the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.

That would have disrupted the Gulf Stream - the flows of which depend on variations in saline levels and temperature - and allowed the ice to take hold.

Some scientists believe that if the Greenland ice cap melts it could disrupt the world's ocean currents and have a similarly dramatic effect.

Professor Patterson's findings emerged from one of the most painstaking studies of climate changes ever attempted and reinforce the theory that the earth's climate is unstable and can switch between warm and cold incredibly quickly.

His conclusions, published in New Scientist, are based on a study of mud deposits extracted from a lake in Western Ireland, Lough Monreagh - a region he describes as having the 'best mud in the world in scientific terms'.

Professor Patterson used a precision robotic scalpel to scrape off layers of mud just 0.5mm thick. Each layer represented three months of sediment deposition, so variations between them could be used to measure changes in temperature over very short periods.

Living up in Canada thought, this is the mildest winter I've had in years. With lots of freezing rain in January instead of meters of snow and freezing cold !

Ditto here in southern Québec.

But I still think that a sudden "glacial rebound" could happen quite soon.

There is already evidence that points towards this. Thing is people are too focused on global warming and do not realise it could lead to a new glacial age.

I guess we will know very soon anyways. And I bet we will not like much what is going to happen!
