... To the Next Ice Age We Go!
Our friends at Weather Underground have this gem on their website: Key Ocean Current Is Close To Collapse, Study Suggests. A study published recently in the journal Nature reports that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current could collapse around the middle of the century, or even as early as 2025. This current is responsible for circulating water throughout the Atlantic and is what keeps Europe temperate despite its latitude. Climate scientists have long predicted that the collapse of this system would usher in the next ice age. I personally have long predicted that this would happen in my lifetime, since I have no faith in our ability to shift course on climate change. So no worries, right? Mother Nature will have the last word when a blockheaded species goes out of control. As I loll around on a 94 degree summer afternoon, I contemplate thoughts of snow. (I hate snow.)
