Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age - Pravda.Ru

Pravada says so. And do not forget the Mayan Calendar ends in 2012.

Most of the long-term climate data collected from various sources also shows a strong correlation with the three astronomical cycles which are together known as the Milankovich cycles. The three Milankovich cycles include the tilt of the earth, which varies over a 41,000 year period; the shape of the earth’s orbit, which changes over a period of 100,000 years; and the Precession of the Equinoxes, also known as the earth’s ‘wobble’, which gradually rotates the direction of the earth’s axis over a period of 26,000 years. According to the Milankovich theory of Ice Age causation, these three astronomical cycles, each of which effects the amount of solar radiation which reaches the earth, act together to produce the cycle of cold Ice Age maximums and warm interglacials.

Last year the snow cover was a large increase in the Northern Hemisphere. This year, the snow amount may be even more. Talks about the 800 year lag on CO2 readings. Ignore the racy Pravda ads - the article has some good info.

Ten per cent of our oil imports npw came from Canadian (oil) tar sands and a $20B project to expand to 30% by 2015 was just delayed due to the slow economy. Long term this oil source could be impacted if we continue to get significant snow covers over the northern hemisphere. Supposedly ice ages can arrive fairly suddenly also. The Russians are really into the study of ice cores.
