Given the rate climate extremes seems to ramp up and previous records are beaten every year, some few more years from now on appear conceivable and it's quite fast for such an evolution from previous and well known climate models.Keyser wrote:Interesting.Telen wrote:One of the theories behind the last ice age was rising temperature stopped the ocean currents that circulate heat.

I simulated a couple of ocean models a few years ago and this was indeed the result in some of them. But given those models were correct, it also may take a "few" more years.
When pondering dramatic climatic events that scientists tell us occured in the past, I wonder if it could be fast enough to have again effects like freezing mammoths grazing, grass and babies suddenly frozen in their bellies. It seems Earth experiences cycles regularly, to such an extent that life is forced to acclimate quickly between cycles to its new surroundings and climate, engendering the vast biodiversity we know, with a lot of live and extinct species.
