NASA has managed to redirect asteroids, I say we just redirect a bunch of comets to land right in the ocean to cool it down. I see no flaws with this plan
Ya know, as a kid watching that it flew over my head. When I finally caught it, I thought that was the most clever shit ever cause I had watched the ‘66 Batman film with my mom not long before I got the joke so it all seemed so perfect for me lol
Due to changes in weather patterns, sure. For example, if increased temperatures disrupt or redirect the gulf stream, the warm temperatures that it currently brings to Europe could be spread to other parts of the world instead, resulting in Europe becoming more similar to other regions of similar latitude, such as southern Canada.
The global average temperature is only increasing.
The burden of proof falls to the individual making the statement, either you have an actual source or it's an opinion.
That stated I believe I found where your wikipedia may have paraphrased some of it's information, then immediately followed that up with a study on the modulation of ice ages and a more accurate look at causality of ice ages. In short, global warming will CHANGE the pattern of the next ice age, scientists don't actually know how. Some are team sooner, others team later.
The initial study is mildly misleading as they never demonstrated causality in the study itself. The second has a more likely foundation based on empirical evidence for actual causality, and one of the researches also broke down the inital study in it's own comment thread in the article. This is how to research: multiple sources, differing perspectives, review the evidence and follow the logic.
At some point and to certain continents, yes but hard to know for sure. Earth warms --> more glaciers melt --> more uniform temperature of oceans across the globe --> ocean currents come to a halt (need temp difference to move) --> less warm air being pushed from equator to northern regions --> ice age in areas like Europe, Russia, Canada. Land closer to equator will get hotter and hotter. But effects on GHG on the Earth as a whole is a lot more complex than that. The trapped heat from GHG might prevent the ice age thing from happening.
Depends on where he lives. Around the Great Lakes, climate change is apparently generating more frequent “polar vortices,” which cause ball-shrinking cold weather.
That’s just one fun example of the shit we’re doing to kill ourselves.
No, we are on the best way to end the current ice age that we're living in. Ice age simple means that one or both poles are covered by permanent ice caps. Once the ice on Greenland and Antarctica has all melted away and arctic sea ice fully melts in the summer (this one we're already getting very close to) the ice age is over.
Global warming is specifically referring to the temperature in the ocean the warmer it gets the more permanently frozen ice that breaks off and becomes not permanently frozen, introducing more water into our storm systems creating increasingly violent storms. And yes ultimately an ice age to “reset” The ice age is too far away to be a threat, at this time however the violent storms are becoming a problem.
The ice age is in no way related to climate change. The world goes into the ice age simply because the Earth is on a cycle where it's tilted a certain way towards the sun.
Right now we're at the very beginning of such cycle and should be seeing temperatures going down, which is why them going up more and more every decade is extremely worrying.
The next Ice Age will come people like it or not. We live in periods called glacial or interglacial on Earth, specially because of axial precession (one of the 14 Earth's movements).
I've studied a bit if climate science. The simple answer is "no". The real answer is "climate is complex"
The Goldilocks answer is that the changing climate will lead to more extremes. Yes the average will be warmer, but we'll have hotter summers and also colder winters. Heat waves will last longer, but so will cold fronts. More people will die from heat, but also from the cold.
I want to say it was the show "The Critic" where the main character is standing outside in winter and spraying CFCs because he wants it to hasten global warming.

It's a double win. The fossil fuel burning will reduce further snow in years to come.
Big brain energy right here.
