Explosion in Antarctic sea ice levels may cause another ice age

Antarctica ice ageThey were right in the 1900’s: there is another coming Ice Age. 

I wonder if the environmentalists will support increasing pollution to stop it. 

A new study suggests an increase in sea ice in a colder climate may lead to a much more devastating change in the Earth’s climate — another ice age.

Using computer simulations, the research suggests that an increase in sea ice could significantly alter the circulation of the ocean, ultimately leading to a reverse greenhouse effect as carbon dioxide levels in the ocean increase and levels in the air decrease.

“One key question in the field is still what caused the Earth to periodically cycle in and out of ice ages,” University of Chicago professor and the study’s co-author, Malte Jansen, said in a statement. “We are pretty confident that the carbon balance between the atmosphere and ocean must have changed, but we don’t quite know how or why.”
