Global Warming

This might explain why you couldn't find anything one NASA's site.

Sure does seem fishy.

The Washington Examiner article has nothing to do with your last posted one besides the fact that it involves global cooling. And the only references it's using is from a professor with no credentials and 70 year old data.

That's Jimboot thing is fake.

That article was posted in 2011, that section of NASA's website hasn't been updated or changed in anyway since April 2010. And I highly doubt he took a print screen, then saved it for a year to post an article. :|

Also, stop posting blog posts as proof. They're not proof. They're opinions often based on false statements and lies.
 
This pretty clearly shows we're not in an ice age:

NASA recently announced global cooling coming up. We're in an ice age, and it's going to get even colder. This is all natural. We see periods of warming and cooling. Nothing to be alarmed about.

NASA didn't say that. The article doesn't even say NASA said that. It attributes one quote to NASA that is both truth and in no way conflicts with global warming. None of the people they are quoting seem to suggest they think a small ice age is coming. It seems a bit like a non sequitur created by The Register. And as a satirical site, they're hardly the most credible source.

Either way, it doesn't matter because a 'little ice age' is only a decrease in 1°C, which doesn't compare to global warming.

That NASA page can be found here: https://web.archive.org/web/2010052...imary-causes-of-the-earth-system-variability/ It has nothing controversial in it and the information can be found in other places on the site. The page argues for global warming.

We're having the total opposite of an ice age here! Why on earth would anyone think we're in an ice age?

Little Ice Age? Little Ice Age!? *awkward silence* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, I cannot imagine that stopping global warming.

I thought we were in the middle of two ice ages, you know, which would explain why the Earth is getting hotter and polar ice caps are melting.
 
Hoax? It's clear that the planet is warming up. Ice caps and glaciers are retreating and melting, there is alot of evidence for it!

And the main gas involved in global warming is methane, it's at least 10x worse then CO2, and it's produced naturally. The Earth goes through natural changes of warm and cold periods, even an idiot could tell you that, to be quite honest and blunt.

The amount of CO2 on Earth compared to methane is more than 10x the amount. :P And there's anthropogenic methane.

Besides, the problem is that the amount of CO2 is rapidly increasing. Unless methane is, it's irrelevant. We're not suggesting to have no greenhouse gases, that would result in a gigantic ice age and the extinction of all animals and plants. I think water vapour is suppose to be the biggest contributor to warming anyway.

Here's some more info on methane vs CO2: https://www.slate.com/id/2178595/
 
The fact that there are polar ice caps is evidence that we are in an ice age.

omg no. The Earth has always had some sort of ice cap, even in a warming period. If fact, taking readings from ice cores from the ice caps is one of the reasons we know of such periods.

Actually, we had polar ice caps before the ice age that made mammals prominent. The cold just spread and therefore we had an ice age, and afterwards it warmed up and we went back to normal.

Your using bad evidence that has nothing to do with your argument.

We are in an interglacial period, which means we are between two ice ages, the one before and the one that will most likely happen afterwards.

The whole thing is referred to as an ice age (because we have permanent ice sheets), but we are in the interglacial period.

Ah, so you see that the fact that there are permanent ice sheets means that we are technically in an ice age.

Also, an ice age coming up means that we are cooling, not warming.

Glacial periods, interglacial periods, and major ice ages are all parts or an overall ice age.
 
So we started with NASA and now we're at what an ice age is... ok then... So to clear things up!

ice age
1. Any of several cold periods during which glaciers covered much of the Earth.
2. Ice Age. The most recent glacial period, which occurred during the Pleistocene Epoch and ended about 10,000 years ago. During the Pleistocene Ice Age, great sheets of ice up to two miles thick covered most of Greenland, Canada, and the northern United States as well as northern Europe and Russia.

We're always in an "ice age". It's just right now we are coming out of one and becoming warmer, not cold.

We are technically between two "ice ages", but what I mean is that we are between two world colding ice ages, not that we aren't in one right now.

Yes, as we come out an ice age, we naturally warm up. The warming won't be permanent. Another ice age is coming.

A glacial period is an ice age, it's just the end of one. In the very same link you used as a reference:

"In popular culture, there is often reference to "the next ice age."[25] Technically, since the earth is already in an ice age at present, this usually refers to the next glacial period (because the earth is currently in an interglacial period)."

I don't see how we can be going into an ice age when we're technically already in one. And I find it really hilarious how all your sources have been either proven wrong or just aren't credible.

In 50 years, I hope PC is active still and you're on it. We'll see what you say then. ^-^

It gets cold, then hot. Cold, then hot. Not cold, then cold. :|

I still can't tell if you're trolling or serious.

Yes, I know. But at the moment we aren't cooling, we are warming.

The global climate naturally warms and cools. I'm not disputing that. What I am disputing is those that claim our climate change is man-made.
 
I hope you realize ice ages and global warming have nothing to do with each other.

Ice Ages are a period in history when ice sheets spread across the earth more then average, and temperatures lower.

Global warming is the theory that the earth is warming because more greenhouse gasses are being trapped in our atmosphere.

One is obviously natural and the other is argued to be made be man.
