Climate

It is very posible that another ice age could acure in the next 100 years all due to the unnormal changes of climate in the past years. As the Arctic warms greenhouse gases will be released from  permafrost faster and at significantly higher temparature levels than previous times,

Permafrost thaw will release about the same amount of carbon as deforestation, state different scientists, but the effect on climate will be 2.5 times bigger because emissions include methane, which has a greater effect on warming than carbon dioxide.

The scientists created a survey, that is  led by "University of Florida researcher Edward Schuur and University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate student Benjamin Abbott", the climate experts were asked "what percentage of the surface permafrost is likely to thaw, how much carbon will be released and how much of that carbon will be methane." The experts stated that the  estimate that the amount of carbon released by 2100 will be 1.7 to 5.2 times larger than reported in recent studies, which used a similar warming scenario.


In my oppinion, this is possible because of all the ways humans use to pullute earth, we are tearing down the ozon and reaserch has shown and proved this to be correct, the winters have been getting warmer, and if we keep this "greenhouse effect" going on it is very possible that we will encounter an Ice age.
