We actually are due about now for an ice age. But, here's the catch. "Global Warming usually precedes Ice Ages.
So, what we are looking at most likely is an ice age sometime during the next several thousands years caused by Global Warming.
Yes.
That sounds crazy doesn't it.
But, here's the thing. The dynamics now indicate this.
How?
Because warmer oceans create more clouds and precipitation. They also create more clouds which prevent sunlight from reaching the ground. This causes ground temperatures to decrease even as oceans warm by the sunlight hitting them especially in the arctic and antarctic.
When white reflective ice turns blue, being a darker color instead of reflecting the sun back into space along with the heat instead it absorbs the heat making the oceans even warmer faster.
This warmer and warmer ocean is much like when you have a paper cup filled with ice on a summer day to remain cool say with lemonade in it. If you notice when the last bit if ice melts the drink gets very warm very fast.
This is what we are going to see in the North pole especially during the next 10 years as storms get more and more fierce without weather satellites being cancelled by Trump so more people are going to die from these storms because they won't see them coming fast enough.
So, more and more people who live in sketchy areas in floodplains or in places where tornadoes or hurricanes hit are going to die because they won't have satellites to warn them ahead of time because Trump is going to cancel all these satellites so they won't be operational anymore.
During these times as oceans become warmer and warmer the land is getting colder and colder because of cloud cover preventing more and more sunlight from ever reaching the earth.
This in turn sometimes creates snow to fall instead of rain and this snow if there is enough of it begins to create it's own weather.
So, we are seeing these incredible extremes right now.
For example, California and Nevada are very very concerned about a heat wave hitting the snow in the Sierra and causing flooding especially on the eastern side of the Sierras this year.
We are having these extremes of snow and cold weather and then much warmer weather which may bring many floods this year too.
It's all these extremes that are troublesome and will cost many lives around the world. With more technology than most places on earth we likely will do better than most other places who might lose thousands to millions of people in earthquakes and weather events all over.
But, the biggest problems of them all potentially are sustained winds over 100 mph (which is predicted to be constantly increasing from now on from Global Warming as well as the fluke potential of an ice age cause by precipitation coming down on cold land when the air temperatures are also cold (any time of year) for snow to fall. This creates it's own weather and increases the probability each year of short or long ice ages of 5, 10, 20, 100 years or more eventually turning into thousands of years within the next 1000 or more here in the U.S. above about Texas from the Sierras to the Atlantic ocean. The Pacific ocean is a warmer and bigger ocean further north so likely an ice age might start about Mt. Shasta along down the Sierras to maybe Death Valley I'm thinking and if you moved eastward from that you have the potential for an ice age going across the nation over the next 1000 years or more.
So, even though ice ages start with Global Warming, when they start is always a weather fluke and cannot precisely be predicted because of this.
