A study of sea ice around Antarctica finds the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered in the ocean appears to fluctuate in response to factors only dimly understood. When oceanic CO2 rises, the amount in the atmosphere drops, this drop is thought to cause an ice age.
Fox News reports the research by University of Chicago scientists. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link. How weird would it be if the extra CO2 we’re producing is forestalling an ice age? It could truly be the case.
An ice age would be a bigger killer than global warming. Think how few people northern Canada supports, now imagine those conditions as far south as Oklahoma. Much of the northern U.S., Europe, and Asia could lie under a blanket of ice for most or all of the year.
