Comments on: Global cooling confirmed http://www.in8sworld.net/blog/archives/498 There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:41:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Nate http://www.in8sworld.net/blog/archives/498/comment-page-1#comment-5698 Nate Mon, 25 Feb 2008 02:54:54 +0000 http://www.in8sworld.net/blog/archives/498#comment-5698 Yours is just the knee-jerk reaction to the sensational headline that I was expecting. It appears from your comment that you didn't read my last two sentences. The joke here is the time scale - yeah, we're likely heading into another ice age - in 15,000 years! There is no argument in the scientific community that the world is heading into another ice age - we have 800,000 years of ice-core evidence for those cycles. The probable flaming ball of death that may be visited upon humans in the short term (over the next couple hundred years) is much more of an immediate concern - to us. The whole global warming issue has become so politically charged that no one can have a reasoned discussion about anything having to do with climate without instantly being called ignorant or anti-green - which was kind of my whole point here. Thanks for falling into my trap ;) Yours is just the knee-jerk reaction to the sensational headline that I was expecting. It appears from your comment that you didn’t read my last two sentences.

We're headed to a flaming ball of death and destruction. This cooling data is stuff I think I've heard many times, thouh maybe this particular study is new. I go with the community, and they're pretty unanimous with the flaming ball of death theory! :p Bah. We’re headed to a flaming ball of death and destruction.
