Makes me laugh all this global warming. We've had global warming ever since the last ice age, which is why we are here. The earth warms up, then cools down, and repeats... Its been happening for billions of years, its not just going to stop now because humans are here. The earth has had several ice ages.
I find this graph rather interesting... And this.
The arrogance of certain groups to have control over mother nature never ceases to amaze me sometimes. Nature can't be controlled, no matter how many Priuses they sell. |
I watched a great documentary about the Icestorm which affects Montreal in Canada.
The effects of the storm were horrendous with pylons collapsing under the weight of the ice on the power cables.
6 of the 8 power networks supplying the city were knocked out. Communications were knocked out i.e TV, mobile phones etc. People were having to leave their homes to go into shelters for safety. Dangerously icy and blocked roads, massively heavy snowfalls, people getting hypothermia, food shortages showed how the storm negatively affected the city.
If an Ice Age comes, the thought of moving glaciers ploughing their way through today's technological dependent societies does not bear thinking about.
