we were in a cooling phase of an approaching ice age event and the massive release of CO2 due to humans consuming stored carbon is what caused the departure from the trend. The climate response to changes in CO2 is well documented in the stratigraphy of very old glaciers, such as on Antarctica. Small bubbles in the ice from known ages (stratigraphy again) have the amount of CO2 trapped in them in measurable amounts and there is direct correlation between CO2 concentrations and global temperature. You should ask your geology instructors for a refund, since it apparently didn't take.
You really are lost and cannot seem to understand what's going on in our environment today. If you know methane and CO2 cause our atmosphere to heat up and the shrinking of sea ice to cause the oceans to warm as well why are you so concerned with ice ages. Humans were not alive when CO2 was this high in our atmosphere. Methane is increasing in our atmosphere as the ground starts to melt and releases these stored gases. Ice ages don't form overnight and it is human activity that is causing the increase in CO2 and methane.
jsc52033, If something you like is moving to go over a cliff you don't get behind it and push it over, that's what we have been doing to our environment since the industrial revolution. You don't want it to go over the cliff so you do your best to slow its passage to the cliff down. That's what climate scientists and those here are trying to help you understand. We have been pushing our environment toward the cliff faster than it would naturally go, now rational people are trying to slow that pushing down.
AI Overview
The claim that Earth is entering a new ice age or that modern warming is just a natural cycle is false. Current warming is happening \(\sim 10\) times faster than post-ice age warming, caused by human-induced \(CO_{2}\) increasing \(\sim 250\) times faster than natural post-glacial rates. While natural cycles exist, current unprecedented rapid warming is driven by greenhouse gas emissions, not natural variability.
Key Debunking Points
* Rate of Change: Current warming is happening much faster than natural climate shifts between ice ages. Atmospheric carbon has increased 100 times faster in the last century compared to the end of the last ice age.
* Cause vs. Natural Cycles: While past ice ages were initiated by changes in Earth's orbit, current warming is driven by human-emitted \(CO_{2}\).
* Not a "Little Ice Age": Claims of an impending ice age are often based on misinterpretations of data, as current, rapid warming is causing a "Big Warming Age".
* Global vs. Regional: Unlike past climate shifts, which were often regional, current warming is a global phenomenon.
* Broken Cycle: Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions have broken the natural, long-term cooling trend that usually follows interglacial periods.
Misconceptions Corrected
* The 1970s Cooling Myth: There was no scientific consensus in the 1970s that an ice age was imminent; peer-reviewed literature was already largely focused on anthropogenic warming.Sun
* Misconception: While the sun does have cycles, its activity has been stable or slightly cooling in recent decades while Earth's temperature has increased, ruling it out as the cause of modern warming.
