Reply #3: Other: Coming climate disaster... Coming extinction event [View All]

[Speck Tater]

If global warming doesn't do us in, it may melt enough ice to shut down the deep ocean currents and throw us back into the ice age we are already over-due for. (Scientific American this months claims human slash and burn agriculture started 8,000 years ago put enough CO2 in the air that it is holding back an ice age that should be under way right now.)

Also, we are 2 million years over due for our periodic once-every-63-million-years global extinction event, (cause unknown). Last time nothing bigger than a domestic cat survived.
