Exxon Mobil accurately predicted global warming...

I heard some of that yesterday and was aghast for about 12 seconds before remembering that no one really cares. Well, not those who could actually make a difference. This article proves that. Same with guns in the US. Exxon could have done the right thing and still made billions.
 
I know, right? And they have the gall to blame it on the consumer for using their product. 🙄
Interesting to see what kind of spin, if any, the climate science deniers will put on big oil and gas predictions. 😄

The weather will be more volatile for a while. Coastal areas and shipping lanes will get bitchslapped. And then it settles down with more land having tropical climates. More bikini weather.

Food may be scarce for while when harsh weather destroys crops and farm machines have no fuel, but there's a plan for that. The classes that use the most resources in the wealthiest nations were pressured/required to get shots without adequate testing for safety or efficacy.
 
So, if we enter an ice age, does that mean the "predictions" were wrong?

Asking for a friend , , ,
No.
Ice ages are followed by the earth warming up again. This is known as an interglacial period. It takes 10,000 years+ for greenhouse gas emissions to raise the earth's temperature, I think about 2°C, by the earth orbitting the sun. Due to anthropogenic activities we've increased the speed that greenhouse gas emissions are causing global warming. Since the start of the Industrial age to the present we've managed to raise the global temperature in 200 years to the same levels that historically takes 10,000 years.
By raising the earth's temperature glaciers break off in larger pieces and travel farther distances. This causes cooling and increased sea levels and creates an excessive amount of fresh water in one part of the ocean, let's say the South Sea, which due to currents, displaces that fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean. This creates an excessively salty South Sea and an excessive amount of fresh water in the Atlantic Ocean. The fresh water ocean then pulls carbon emissons out of the atmosphere cooling the earth down until another Ice Age occurs.
Tl;dr - We've increased the speed at which the earth warms up during interglacial periods from 10,000 years to 200 years. Which due to glacial and current activities can trigger an Ice Age, and will, if we don't control our carbon emissions.
 
Depletion of fossil fuels will probably eliminate most of the world's shipping before the shipping lanes get crowded with icebergs. But sailing ships probably won't have satellite iceberg tracking, radar, sonar, etc.
 
It's not the icebergs themselves, it's the melting of the icebergs that's the problem.

You probably need to explain it to the smalldickenergy crowd in terms they can relate to.

Something along the lines of - Lack of emissions control and premature emissions will result in extreme disappointment from the planet.

The icebergs themselves will likely cause major global crises simply by raising ocean levels and threatening shipping lanes.

Civilization writ large could devolve into nuclear Armageddon / a starvation zombie apocalypse long before an anthropogenic climate change inspired premature ice age does it in.

Very true. I expect we'll see climate refugees quite soon.
In fact there is a village in Alaska, Shishmaref, whose residents have decided to move their entire community because of rising sea levels due to climate change. Keep in mind the arctic is warming at 4× the rate of the rest of the world.
Predictions are if we keep emitting greenhouse gases at the rate we do an Ice Age can be triggered by the end of this century.
Pretty bleak future for our grandchildren and great grandchildren.
 
Humans were wanderers before civilization, and many still are. Sea level rise is giving us at least a century of warning to move to higher ground. We will lose some infrastructure, entire cities, and maybe two entire states, but the infrastructure built to use fossil fuels will be useless anyway. The island nations with a few meters above sea level and a few in Europe are more screwed. They will need some friendly neighbors to accept their entire populations. Antarctica may eventually have a settled population. One of the coming lifestyle changes for much of humanity is a bigger difference between summer and winter in hours of daylight, when electric light will be rare. We are running out of fossil fuel faster than the sea is rising.
 
A bullshit piece is bullshit. Thanks for demonstrating that you're a gullible idiot
*chuckles* it reminds me of an infomercial running on a back channel at 3 am.

Tom Luongo..... chemist.....yep a global warming expert for sure...
