Let's talk with some common sense

I saw on NASA that they Predict a New Ice Age for 2022, I Really Do Hope not!

I'll try to find The NASA Page soon as I lost it!

Don't worry. Maybe it won't happen. My mom thinks that even though NASA is a credible source, since it's the 'net, even their website can be unreliable. Besides, I think I might be married and having at least one kid then. I will be 30 or 31 years old then. Did they say the month on when its supposed to happen?

I went to The NASA Ask an Astro-Biologist Thing and asked about it and even The NASA Scientist, David Morrison doesn't even believe I even found that on a NASA Website!
He said it's a Load of Nonsense!
I'm 13 so I'll be in My 20's then!

WHAT?! He doesn't believe you found that on a NASA website? And does he check any NASA websites?
im almost positive that the sun cycle "peaks" ever 11 years. and it always has been for a very, very long time.
im not sure if 2022 is the correct date, but if it is then the sun will peak in 2011 and did in 2000

I know it's Weird that David didn't Believe I found that on a NASA Website.
Sorry I still haven't found The NASA Page!
All The Pages I've seen about this (Apart from NASA's) while doing Research on it have been around 2005 and 2006, hopefully this Whole Thing is not True anymore!

It might not be, since it's all from 2005 and 2006. Unless the actual NASA article was recent. Was it recent?

No.

A couple of years ago The Guardian newspaper(UK) published an article about recent emergency exercises that had being going on at the Pentagon, which were all based on an Ice Age scenario.
Scientists have said that global warming could possibly trigger an ice age. The thermohaline current which traverses the worlds oceans has slowed down in the past because of an increased amount of freshwater pouring into the Arctic. The freshwater run off can slow the current down because the current only works if there is enough heavy, salty water to sink and drive the conveyor, which in turn carries heat from the tropics into the temperate regions. The UK is only as warm as it is because we are on the edge of the current. If it stops, things will get cold. It has slowed down in the past, quite recently, when a Greenland glacier melted which was the barrier between a huge lake and the Sea (I am a bit sketchy on the actual dates and places but Google 'mini Ice Age' should bring up something, it is a well known and recorded event). The result was a drop in the salinity of the sea and thus the water wasn't heavy enough to sink and drive the thermohaline current. The thermohaline current is one of the major reasons that the planet is as warm as it is. It carries heat from the equator to the poles.
So, there is a very real possibility that the world could tip into an ice age as a result of global warming. Predicting when an ice age will next happen is not possible, however. Saying that an ice age is going to happen in any year is total fantasy. Predicting natural events is very difficult. Governments pour millions into scientific research which aims to predict earthquakes and volcanoes and they are still a long way off from doing that. They can't even write a realistic climate simulation for the planet with todays computing power so how someone claims to be able to predict any major event like an ice age or pole switch (another switch will occur-predicting it is sci-fi) is beyond me!
I hope that made some common sense!

That's a good point! Infact, I do remember seeing somewhere on Google that Scientists thought The World would tip into a new ice age in 1970 as temperatures got so low, (I THINK!) but they were wrong but now things have moved on a bit since 1970, there is more chance of scientific organizations like NASA being right though there still not always right.

No one knows when the next ice age is coming but i promise not in 13 years.
why? Well our planet is getting hoter so i rest my case.

do you think NASA, the gov't, OR the mass media would pester you with such problems as an ice age? would they want to wake you from your everyday routine of going to work, spending money, and putting money in the pockets of those who make the decisions....?
our planet is hotter? i think i read a nasa article relating to how not just OUR planet is getting hotter in the neighborhood....

I note a high level of confidence in the NASA website.
Why would you hold this.
NASA is just another government organ.
There have been many cases of fraud and cover ups committed by government organs.
Any true skeptic would not need to be reminded of this inconvenient truth.
