As new Ice Age looms millions may starve

Worried geologists and climatologists are crunching the numbers and the totals they’re arriving at equals the sum of all fears…

A new Ice Age is looming and the only debate remaining is whether the Earth has already slipped into one or is it about to occur?

Core samples reveal bleak future

During the last century, geologists obtained deep-ocean core samples from the bottom of the Pacific. Upon analysis of those cores they were able to confirm that the cycles of Ice Ages occur with regularity. For the last 800,000 years an Ice Age starts, lasts 100,000 years, and then is interrupted by what’s known as an interglacial period  (a stretch of warmer years between Ice Ages). Interglacial periods last about 10,000 years and then abruptly come to an end.

What this means–at least during the past 800,000 years–is the normal climate of the Earth is an Ice Age.

The science of climate cycles was brought to the fore by a Serbian civil engineer and mathematician named Milutin Milankovic. The datat he gathered on climate cycles, Ice Ages and Interglacial periods became known as the Milankovic Theory.

At the present time we are at the very end of the last interglacial period. The warm-up lasted about 10,500 years and the Earth is now due to fall back into a 100,000 year Ice Age.

Astrophysicist and meteorologist Piers Richard Corbyn who established Weather Action http://www.weatheraction.com/ has made the case of the Ice Age and its social, agricultural and political ramifications. In a recent video he explains why winters will now be the coldest in centuries.

Other top scientists in the disciplines of geology, ecology, meteorology, astrophysics, and heliology [Down loadable list] are predicting that the two major cooling cycles are converging–the short term and long term Ice Ages–and Earth has just entered the beginnings of the dangerous cooling.

The seven “seals” of the Apocalypse

During the last year, as more climate scientists abandoned the flawed man-made global warming hypothesis, many revisited the actual climate record and were shocked they had missed the obvious: Earth is slipping into a new Ice Age and every benchmark supports it.

The seven major benchmarks signaling the beginning of an Ice Age echo like the seven seals of the Apocalypse:

1. A short-lived warming cycle. Geological records show temporary warming spikes before the temperature drops and an Ice Age begins.

2. Increased precipitation. Heavy rains in the Southern Hemisphere. Heavier rains and snows in the Northern Hemisphere.

3. Partial melting of the Arctic icecap. The Arctic ocean becomes ice-free but the ice moves southward over what is currently southern Canada, the northern United States, Scandinavia and northern Europe, mid-central and southern Russia, northern China and Korea.

4. Thickening of the Antarctic ice. Massive calving on the edges of the ice sheet; significant thickening of the ice inland.

5. Increased volcanic activity accompanied by more frequent earthquakes worldwide.

6. A shift in the magnetic poles.

7. A cooling of the sun. NASA and the European Space Agency agree that after solar maximum–from 2011 to 2013–the sun will “go quiet” (cool) for the next 30 years.

All seven major events have either already been met or are occurring now.

Several other smaller cycles also occur with some regularity: a 23,000 tear cycle and an 11,500 year smaller cycle.

All three cycles have converged in the 21st Century.

Mass starvation

When the Earth becomes gripped in the Ice Age warm periods will contract, snow and ice deepen and travel southwards, the extreme northern polar ice melts, and northern cities will become unlivable. The great wheat, corn, soybean and oat fields of the U.S. and Canada will become wastelands–much, much worse than the famous dustbowl of the 1930s.

Food shortages and famine will erupt in countries around the world. Millions will flee for the warmth of the southern hemisphere and millions more will be exposed to starvation.
