I love new discoveries

There are medieval maps that accurately show what Antarctica looks like without the ice cover. It must've been almost completely thawed before about 1500.

Of course Antarctica and all of the other continents were supposedly part of one big supercontinent, Pangea, 250 million years ago. Most of it was far enough north of the south pole for plant life to live there.

The ice age started fairly recently then, I believe it. I don't think time can be measured since we spend so much of it sleeping and totally unaware.

[Mister Obvious]

Trends fabricated by TPTB aside (global warming, etc), the general consensus seems to be that we are in for another ice age.

They don't know what triggers it but those volcanoes are probably what does it. There's the global warming, or cooling depending on how big the plume is, that can cool the world off fast af.

I've been thinking another Little Ice Age is on the way too. Not a major one, but a 500-year one like the one from the 14th century to around 1850. It will cause major social upheaval and massive casualties due to famine, but it won't destroy humanity. When it's over, the reduced population will have a lot of elbow room.

[Mister Obvious]

Yep exactly...

Asteroid impacts can cause the same thing.

Ice age incoming, but in my opinion it is unclear which method will bring it on.

Yep, a "mini ice age".

The Black Death, the Irish potato famine, and the French revolution all happened during the last one. It won't be pretty. The Irish themselves were partly to blame for their famine though. If they'd stuck with a variety of different potatoes instead of moving towards a monoculture, some of the potatoes would've been hardy enough to provide decent yields.

[Mister Obvious]

Yeah man, I try to tell people...

We're in the shit.

This is the downswing of the wheel.

LOL.

We're like...

Oh the dropping off part of the chart.

We're like on the squiggly line pointing straight down.

LMFAO.

This ain't a golden age and it's not going to be.

We're headed back toward the bottom.

Then comes total destruction.

Then comes the upswing of the cycle again.

I am not coming back here until we're on an upswing.

Not sure WTF I was thinking incarnating right now...

My higher self must be a masochist.

I was on to something but it's not the plume, it's the sulfur dioxide that will cool the planet.

irish potato famine was genocide from the brits. french revolution was illuminati. black death had little to do with climate and more to do with unsanitary practices.

as for volcanos:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pinatubo

Global temperatures dropped by about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) in the years 1991–93

i remember going back and looking at the first batch of global warming bullshit. 2 things stood out - 1 they didn't include the sun as a variable, instafail; 2 they conveniently started in '93 and noted a ~.5°C increase over time. ignore the fact that's natural bounce back from pinatubo, pay tax on your breath slaves!

i do like the leak project and rex, but he's too big of a goofball a lot of the time, and that's comin from a huge stoner and admitted goofball.

Awe!

I'm sure you're just astrologically incompatible.

(That's my excuse for everything these days.)
