I am so tired of reading about the approaching ice age on so many active threads on this highly informative site.
I think "science" is generally constrained by dogma and ignorance. Since 1789, the $ has ruled in terms of research and what results must show. This is why climate science has remained extremely inaccurate, in fact, I would say most "climate scientists" are no better than alchemists from the middle ages.
Of course, examples like Hansen and Jennifer Francis exist, but they are few and far between. If you read between the lines of their research the conclusion is obvious but even institutions like Columbia University are deeply engrained within a status quo to support the $.
I know it may sound incorrect, but in fact, impending re-glaciation is WORSE than global warming. Global warming is a distant problem that the public perceives to be irrelevant to current times, while rapidly increasing hemispheric snowfall is a phenomenon happening TODAY.
Why do you think no-one knows about this? Because it is the same thing that led to the French Revolution/etc in the first place (I.E., "The Little Ice Age"). The public is a blind mob that believes what they are told. My post here will be perceived as inane drivel by some (what was that gerontocrat said -- hyperbole? OK), but that will not change the fact that temperatures have not increased above a +1-2C vs baseline in three million years, and that whenever rapid warming has occurred WITHIN an ice age (which we are due to Greenland and Antarctica's existence), it has thereafter resulted in a rapid WORSENING of the ice age.
Why do humans always believe their period of existence to be exceptional? This kind of thinking is completely illogical however it is understandable since most humans are raised to blindly comply with a corporate educational curriculum and any independent thinking in the West is usually eliminated by the need to acquire and spend $.
Chief among these issues I raise ^ is the idea that science has painted anyone who doesn't believe in the normal AGW narrative as "ignorant". Why? Because it is better to have 8 billion plebes believe that problems are only relevant to tomorrow, rather than face the consequence that civilizational collapse could be rather more imminent.
