| Lafiel said: all the various indicators we have point to global warming happening and to affecting us (as a species) a lot in the future, but there still is a chance for this warming leading to the next ice age the warming is expected to negatively influence the termohaline circulation, which we see as the main driving force of the gulf stream - if the gulf stream gets weaker and doesn't reach up as far to the north anymore the whole norther hemnisphere will see a drastic cooling leading to an ice age as a geologist I'm pretty curious if global warming results in a hot house climate or if it ends this interglacial we are living in |
Very Interesting.. So which outcome would think would be more probable? And is it already slowing? because the Artic is shrinking i believe? or How would this process work?
