in five years
Most of central Europe will soon be covered in ice
10 Feb 10 - Renowned physicist Vladimir Paar has revealed that Europe
could be just five years away from the start of a new Ice Age, says this
article in the Croatian Times.
Most of central Europe will soon be covered in ice, says Paar,
"including Germany, Poland, France, Austria, Slovakia and a part of
Slovenia." The freeze will be so complete that people will be able to
walk from England to Ireland or across the North Sea from Scotland to
northern Europe.
"This could happen in five, 10, 50 or 100 years, or even later. We can't
predict it precisely, but it will come," he added.
And the professor said that scientists think global warming is simply a
natural part of the planet.
Professor Paar, from Croatia's Zagreb University, has spent decades
analysing previous ice ages in Europe and what caused them.
"The reality is that mankind needs to start preparing for the ice age,"
says Paar. "We are at the end of the global warming period. The ice age
is to follow. The global warming period should have ended a few
thousands of years ago, we should have already been in the ice age.
Therefore we do not know precisely when it could start – but soon."
"Food production also might be a problem. It would need to be produced
in greenhouses with a lot of energy spent to heat it," commented the
professor, who remains optimistic despite his predictions.
It will still be possible for man to survive in the ice age, but the
spending on energy will be enormous.

"And it (the ice age) will be caused by capitalism and SUV's!,"
says Benjamin. "Oh, I forgot: A large tax will cure it!" |
