SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the hypothetical scenario of a sudden return of the Ice Age and its implications for humanity. Participants speculate on disaster management strategies, population movements towards the equator, and potential social issues such as overcrowding and food shortages. The conversation also touches on the humorous aspects of adapting to extreme cold and the irony of global warming discussions. Overall, the consensus suggests that people would initially complain about the cold and struggle to adapt to the drastic climate change.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of climate change concepts
  • Knowledge of disaster management strategies
  • Familiarity with social dynamics in crisis situations
  • Awareness of historical climate patterns
NEXT STEPS
  • Research climate change adaptation strategies
  • Explore historical case studies of past Ice Ages
  • Investigate social impacts of extreme weather events
  • Learn about disaster preparedness and response frameworks
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for climate scientists, disaster management professionals, sociologists, and anyone interested in the societal impacts of extreme climate changes.

Can you say "Mexico"?
 
What, you mean at the cinema?

I reckon everyone will go and see it again, and a massive argument will break loose over whether or not Toy Story was better. Then, everyone will start up the quotes, like "Kar-ll, he's eating our salad!" and "Woo! Who's up for round two?!", not to mention "MOVE YOUR ISSUES OFF THE ROAD!" and "Ooh, what's this, pine cone!".
 
Ah no. I mean in real world.
Is there any known disaster management on ice age?
 
Maybe if we're lucky it would cancel out global warming perfectly and nothing would change...
 
People would move toward the equator, crank up the heat, look for ways to fight back glaciers, and deal with the social problems (overcrowding, food shortages). Probable population decline.
 
Ice age = spring time in Michigan. I doubt we'd notice a difference.

Get a nice new jumper.. and perhaps a hat.
Then I'd spend my spare time sending snotty letters to Greenpeace activists and all the other treehuggers who went on and on about global warming saying:
"Ha! So what do you say now smartarse?"

:smile:
 
Ha-ha! But we're rather far from a new ice age, and global warming is a problem.

First they'd complain a bit about being cold, then complain a lot about being cold, shiver somewhat uncontrollably, and eventually die of cold-exposure. What else? :rolleyes: :-p Oh, and parents could no longer use the old complaint, "What are you trying to do, heat the entire outdoors?" when their kids left the door open in winter; "Yes" would be a reasonable answer. :smile:
