Even if man is the cause, we wil not die by fire but by ice. NOAH and Woods Hole now agree that when the level of fresh water in the atlantic gets to be enough to disrupt the "Great Conveyor" the climate will rapidly cool and induce at least a mini-ige age. The latests projections say England and Norway now open year round will be ice bound during the winter within 20-50 years.

As the glaciers grow, see levels will drop not rise and the atmosphere will get more arid. The real threat is the start of a true ice age, which we are due for as we are entering the tail end of an 11,500 year warming trend.
