Here is yet another study on what's afoot in the Arctic. Looking pretty serious I must say.
There was a gentleman on 'Newsnight' saying he thought we had past the point of no return and the damage was now irreversible...

And as an added twist, the Arctic ice melt is adding to CO2 emissions....

We've seen this year the damage changes to weather patterns can do the crop harvests.

The US corn harvest has taken a massive hit this year and so has the British wheat harvest.

Expect significant food price rises next year...

The point of no return is refered to as a tipping point, and yes, we've past it..

That we have seen changes in weather patterns is a given, but are these changes just natural long term cyclical ones or due to man inadvertently effecting them, or even deliberately effecting them through weather manipulation technology? We do have some very bad people who wouldn�t think twice about creating a �natural disaster� if they thought they could benefit from it.

Were we not told that if the polar ice caps melted that low laying coastal areas would be flooded? So if half of this ice cap is melted should we not be starting to see some of this effect?

Yes, ice melts faster during the summer, what is your point?
Again, nature creates FAR MORE CO2 than man, we already knew that.

Additionally, since we put so much trust in these guys, WE REALLY ARE past the point of no return!! SO LET'S DRILL, BABY DRILL!!!!!

Dropping into the 40's overnight already at Lat47. Gonna be another snowy winter!!! Woooo Hoooo!!!

Luckily we have the intelligence & ability to adapt if that is true
In the blink of an eye, we could find ourselves living in an ice age.

I don't know about an ice age and it of course depends where you live, but if the weather predictions are correct we here in Western England could have more, what I call, Highland weather - wet and windy, with snowier winters. And the sort of droughts that Jim has been getting in Texas could become the norm there.

Don't ask me how, but I found myself on the Portugal News website and found this gem of an article...Thought-provoking stuff

https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/...-unknown/26760

That was an interesting article, you're funny, dear Knight It amazes me where I end up online too LOL
Most often it's someone's science blog, or in this case somewhere Scottish lol

This article explains how quickly an ice age can occur

Another good article

And I this blog

Even though we're getting Arctic ice melting, isn't it surprising that glaciers are growing?

This is IceAgeBob's original site, if you like to scan old stuff like i do: https://www.iceagenow.com/

1) Not the kilt fetish again!

2) Thanks a lot, Cookie. That cheered me up no end....!

Not quite as clear cut as that, dear Cookie

So some glaciers are melting & some are growing?
It would be interesting to do a world map & pinpoint them.

Did you see this website listed at the bottom of your link's page in the responses?

ps.
This is what may be causing your Highland weather?
