Global Cooling Part 1

Hi to everyone and welcome to the part 1 of global cooling and there will be also parts on global warming here to come.

Firstly, The Earth had been hit with global cooling a while back and I mean a few thousand years ago where as you know was the Ice Age. If you have seen the movie Ice Age you think is funny and nice but actually is not.

The Ice Age denotes a geological period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in an expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. An ice age is a natural system. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of extra cold climate are termed "glacial periods" (or alternatively "glacials" or "glaciations"), and intermittent warm periods are called "interglacials". Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres; by this definition we are still in the ice age that began at the start of the Pleistocene (because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets still exist).

The Earth's orbit as everyone thought is always round, which scientists had proven that we are WRONG. The earth orbit according to scientist has been transforming from almost round to oval shape. So, when the Earth's orbit is almost oval, we experience very cold and hot temperatures.But for the last ten thousand years, we have been experiencing very good temperatures for use to live in which scientist say that it is not very good. If we do not experience the temperature change throughout the years, it means that if the Earth's orbit has become oval there will be a second Ice Age. Crops will fail, people and animals will die due to the extreme cold temperatures. How did the scientists find out? They dug out ice cores from the Greenland, the arctic, antarctica and places that snow throughout the years. But this is not only the reason that suggest that global cooling is coming. I will explain the other factors in the next part...
