What do you think will happen when the next mini or full ice age hits?

Historical evidence indicates that we will eventually hit another mini or full fledged ice age (this has nothing to do with fossil fuel and the evil President Bush). The last mini-ice age that hit Europe and lasted for about 500 years was devastating to the population. If this hits again and is as severe, how will the world cope with having to feed and house a starving Europe.

    Yeah, I saw that on TV last night, due to a volcano erruption in Europe (we could also do this with nuck weapons)

    The oil spill has no longer some thing to do with the periodic climatic variations at modern taking position. in case you want to commence searching at man made causes, the launch of gases from farm animals international has a significantly better result, and that in itself is minimum to the different causes. Why do you imagine that the ice age and a tropical northern Europe occurred contained in the previous. genuinely no longer from man made effects, there have been not any round.

    Had this convo with my geo teacher today... we can survive because this dud from the chedder caves called the chedder man survived cos he lived in the chedder caves and only came out to eat wooly mamoths and he was really hairy. Apparently.
