Global cool...Dear Mike,<BR/><BR/>You are RIGHT ON THE MONEY! Global cooling is a heckuva lot more dangerous than global warming. Water (in liquid form) is necessary for life, whereas ice causes death. Soil must be irrigated so that plants, animals and humans can exist. Ice doesn't flow or irrigate. Global cooling can hit suddenly and destroy life much sooner than global warming would. On a small scale, a frost in Florida can wipe out half of our orange crop, driving up prices and making them scarce (unobtainable for some people). Take this a wee bit further and it should be clear to intelligent people that many frosts (or global cooling) will wipe out our food supply. First...as food became scarce people would have to pay exorbitant amounts to obtain it...then, they wouldn't be able to obtain it at all. (We've seen this phenomenon beforeā¦it's called "famine" and history is full of them!) With scarce water and no food...animals and humans die quickly. Our survival on this planet is dependent upon water in liquid form. This point is illustrated time and time again by history, geology and the geneticists who have traced all human life on this planet to a single tribe in Africa. Droughts and deaths caused by global cooling are believed to have forced our ancient African ancestors to migrate north and west, first on foot and then subsequently by boat. Native Americans bear the genetic markers of these ancient tribes...as do you and I. Human characteristics altered based upon each new hemisphere encountered (due to climate conditions, soil composites, flora and fauna). When water freezes and consolidates in one place...the lack of it causes death in other places it isn't flowing to. We should keep an eye on emissions and resources...use them conservatively...but be realistic about what the dangers REALLY are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
