Forget Global Warming... A Terrible Ice Age Awaits Us!

The most recent ice age ended a few thousand years ago, and today the world is, according to geological definitions, in a "warm phase of an interglacial period." Some experts even suggest that we might be heading towards another ice age. The relative positions of the Earth and the Sun are similar to those of 116,000 years ago, when the interglacial period that preceded the last ice advance was ending. It's not out of the question that history could repeat itself, and within 5,000 years, glaciers might once again cover vast continental areas.

Other scientists are even more pessimistic, hypothesizing that an ice age could start within the next 2-3 centuries as a consequence of global warming and climate change. The rise in atmospheric temperatures could lead to such massive precipitation at mid-to-high latitudes that it could "dilute" the Gulf Stream (which originates in the tropics, travels towards the Pole, sinks in the North Atlantic, and returns to the tropics by flowing along the ocean floor in a 2,500-year cycle), reducing its salinity.

    Hey guys! If you liked the video, we would love for you to share it on social networks like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Tik Tok and Twitter.(Since the algorithm is not helping us in terms of views). You will support the Insane Curiosity community to grow and improve more and more our upcoming content. A big thank you!

    We're still in a ice age, the ice has not left the poles
  • The EARTH WILL REGULATE ITSELF...WITH OR WITHOUT US. ALWAYS HAS AND ALWAYS WILL
  • @davmac6148
    some people believing that electric cars are going to stop climate change are unable to charge their cars because the charging stations are frozen. LOL

    I've held in my hand a fossil from Antarctica. It has a leaf on one side & a fern frond on the other...... About 18 million years old. I don't mind saying I felt oddly emotional. We're all here for a good time, not a long time. I hope the 'good time' starts sometime soon despite the lunacy & panic porn from the so called experts. Very good video, thanks.

    The whole universe is a volatile place , everyday is a blessing
  • @klind57
    We are in the extreme age.... Extremely cold Extremely hot Extremely wet Extremely dry Extremely disappointed Extremely triggered. Extremely stupid.......... Either way extremely screwed 😕😞😕😞😕😞

    2 things: 1. The warming effect of carbon dioxide varies with it's concentration in the atmosphere but the relationship is not linear, it is exponential. So each increase in carbon dioxide concentration results in less warming than the one before until saturation is attained and further increases make no practical difference. 2 The sun is not just a big lightbulb in the sky. It's output varies in cycles of approximately 11 years. Strictly speaking 11 years is a half cycle as after 11 years the Sun's magnetic poles reverse and technically speaking a solar cycle is approximately 22 years. Most cycles are strong but currently we are heading into grand solar minimum, similar to the Maunder minimum, so in a year or two we might even be able to have frost fairs on the Thames here in the UK. It won't be an ice age as the underlying trend is still to warming and once this cold period is over we should have warming again. However it will reveal that no matter how many more coal-fired power stations are built in places like China (please do your own research, there's info on the web) it's not humans that control the climate.

    Very good, except it is the Ice Age we are still in is punctuated by short interglacial warm periods. The current period peaked with the Holocene Climate Optimum (for humans) ~8500 years ago, with temperatures trending colder since. The four latest warm periods' temperatures over time have followed very similar trajectories. By that measure, Earth's temp has peaked, and is trending back to the normal, long glacial periods typical of the last 800,000 years, with ~5000 years to go. Not mentioned in your video is the absolute solar output of the Sun and the effects of catastrophic extraterrestrial impacts. Look for by name, Younger Dryas Extinction. To sum it up, the Earth goes through normal glacial periods of 80 to 130 thousand years, interrupted by interglacial periods of 8 to 33 thousand years. CO2 effect is currently saturated, with less and less effect with further increases. Paying wealthy overlords will not stop Nature's cycles.
  • Well said. People don’t understand the incredible amount of variables involved.
  • @cb2000a
    Coolest winter in Hawaii in many years so far.
  • 6:57, False. CO2 like any other gases have absolutly no greenhouse effect, because gases do not hold or transfert heat, therefore the effect is insignificant on global climate. Higher global CO2 always comes after a warmer period, not before.

    Engineer and Scientist here. I am working on developing contingency systems. This is really going to happen. At the rate at which were burning fossil fuels, global warming has accelerated, heating up the atmosphere and oceans. This has caused glaciers to melt at an unprecedented rate. This affects the salinity of the water changing the physical and chemical properties of water creating changes in ocean currents. The AMOC current has already slowed down drastically. Not only that there's a sharp increase in the number of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes across the world. Moreover we're already seeing a lot of cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes, incessant rains, floods, glacier bursts, cloud bursts. All indicating that there is a huge climate shift. Have to be ready for this one.
  • @KF-bj3ce
    Great summary on lots of factors about climate variations. Thanks
  • @Whuffagowie
    Milankovitch Cycles factor in. 25,000 year-old Oak trees are being milled after being found in wet gravel dozens of feet down in the ground.
  • Yes we are on the verge of some sudden changes that will soon send us to an “icier “ ice age.

    Oh man as an australian i would kill to see some snow for the first time.
  • @donjames7971
    I was exposed to 'the axial-rotation' in my early-education in school in Kingston, Jamaica in the 50s before emigrating North and never heard of anything like it until now .. !

    In Australia, which is the oldest continent on earth, I have studied different rock formations all over the to make sense of what I have found, I studied everything I could find to explain and corroborate my observations. It is very obvious to see from geological observations that the information on this video is absolutely correct. However there is more to be said. I love you people ❤️ 🎉❤🎉😊
