What is happening in the Arctic makes an Ice age more likely not less

Yes. This is counterintuitive. However, you do have to admit that nothing you thought before is the same now.

When was the last time you saw temperatures in the 70s in Late December on the Northeast coast?(That soon were replaced with -20 below to -37 below temperatures?)

What is your compass now?

And does your compass mean anything at all at this point?

So, watch what happens next.

As this might tell you what to do to survive the next year or two.

Studying the weather might be a good idea simply because you want to be in some place where you can survive better along with your family.

At this point knowing when not to be somewhere might even be more important than knowing where to be most of the time.

Because knowing when not to be somewhere actually might keep you and your family alive one day(or many days in the future).

So, why does it make an ice age more likely?

Think about the pendulum swings of temperatures.

When you first heard of Global Climate change did you expect 75 degrees Fahrenheit in New York City to be followed the next month with below zero temperatures? Because that isn't logical is it?

So, imagine now a rainstorm ( a big one) carrying 10 inches of rain followed soon by another storm carrying 10 inches of rain.

Now, you look at a weather map and it's 75 degrees out in New York City and it's December or January.

But, you notice that the first 10 inches of rain storm might coincide with a drop of the polar vortex next week. You don't think too much about it because the weather people are thinking, "Oh. This couldn't really happen." but, sure enough those ten inches of rain in that storm confront a Polar Vortex and 10 feet of snow fall on New York City, Boston and Washington DC. Now What?

Gridlock for a few days. They bring in the big 10 feet tall trucks that grind up to 10 feet of snow from the mountains somewhere and they go first down all the main streets even though roofs are collapsing so at least if you have snow shoes or skis you can get to the main streets to catch a bus.  Some people's roofs are collapsing but then that isn't that unusual is it?

So, you get two more days of 70s weather before the next storm hits that melts about 1 to 2 feet of snow so you now have 8 feet of snow on the ground. Next, another fluke, the polar vortext drops down just in time for the next 10 inches of rain storm off the Pacific Ocean from Global Climate Change and warming. Now you have 18 feet of snow and the suburbs are a complete disaster 1/2 of all the roofs have collapse (OR) the snow has blown out window on the first floor of homes from the weight. And people in single story houses have to move somewhere else quick or buy some plywood and plastic to keep snow from melting into their living rooms and kitchens on the first floor.

Now, you really have a problem because the  now (not 20) but 18 feet brings more rain turning into snow through wind over snow refrigeration. So, during the rainy season the snow builds until by march you now have 30 to 50 feet of snow. By this time most people have moved temporarily to Florida, have starved to death or are living with their friends or relatives in 2 or 3 story houses or taller buildings that still have water and power working.

What do you have?

YOu have a short or long term ice age for 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years or what is the normal ice age averaging: The correct answer is a 100,000 year average if you average the number of years most ice ages last all together. So, normal warm years 10,000 and we have already had 15,000 warm years already.

I'm not say this is going to happen anytime soon. However, it is more than likely to happen like this within 100 to 500 years if you just study climate science at a high enough level like a Phd.
