The problem with Global Warming and Global Climate Change

The greenhouse effect is just like if you have ever been in a greenhouse on a hot sunny day if they windows weren't open to the greenhouse (It's really really hot inside). Some greenhouses I have been in over the years might be so hot in those conditions that you might just pass out from the heat. But, as soon as you open the windows the wind starts to blow through and it cools down.

However, when you apply this condition to earth there are no windows to open. But, what you have instead of windows is potential clouds to mask the suns heat. So, Clouds become the unknown factor in all of this ongoing.

The main problem in a greenhouse effect all over the planet is the heat. The heat is a form of energy that heats not only the air but the water. As this heat is stored in air and water many dynamic things happen which will tend to cause the loss of increasing numbers of humans throughout this century and beyond.

Now, we have only seen the beginning of this with bigger tornadoes, bigger hurricanes and Cyclones, bigger weather events than before which might be thought of as the energy of the planet through heat becoming more and more dynamic as that heat converts from one form to another.

For example, water heat converts to hurricanes and cyclones and combines with the dynamic heat of heat rising faster and faster in the air from the increasing heat. The more heat the faster the rise of it into the atmosphere in the air. The more heat in the water the bigger the hurricanes and cyclones will be here on earth.

This doesn't stop snow all over earth completely either, it just tends to mean that snow will tend to either fall less or melt faster, so snowpack won't stay as long. It will also create ice to melt in glaciers and on the tops of mountains faster as the years go on.

However, it might also increase cloud cover which if it became large enough and long enough could also create an ice age in far northern and/or  far southern areas of the world which would still leave the equator regions warmer sort of like they are now. However, these ice ages would be temporary as long as greenhouse gases increased from humans burning fossil fuels of all kinds for whatever purpose they were doing this. So, even if an ice age lasted 2000 years or so north of Mexico and Africa, eventually (if too many people were not killed by the sudden onset of the Ice age) mean that fossil fuels burning might eventually increase again at some time in the future.

So, there are at least two scenarios or more that could take place depending upon the dynamics of heat, volcanoes, clouds, winds etc. in the near or far future of the next few hundred years.

We know this shift to an ice age could come very suddenly by Mastodons in Alaska found with Spring Flowers in their mouths suddenly frozen to death while eating spring flowers all over Alaska and Canada at that time.
