Effing terrifying.
I used to do a lot of business there. Glad I'm no longer going there. Not sure going sooner is better than going later, but I didn't make it to the end of the article.
What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.
BTW - I'm starting to get worried. We do seem in for a load of $hY%t: ice age in 15 years, Pac NW becomes a common breakfast food (toast for those to lazy to read less of the article than I did), global warming, lousy wind.......I just wish the bad news groundhog would see his shadow and make all this stuff stop.

Things were simpler in the old days. We pretended that this would keep us from, literally, being toast.

How timely - I sail down that coast from Juan de Fuca to San Francisco next month.
We'll be good - we'll be well off shore most of the time :-).
Except for the tsunami wave that will push you over to Japan where you will crash into a nuclear plant that is melting down. I'd check and see if my trip insurance covers chickening out.

That's if he doesn't hit an iceberg near Hawaii on the way over...
Still amazed at and skeptical of the traction an obscure scientific presentation on a model of solar cycles got. Next story out, fashion experts predict mini ice-age. Tulips are the hot new garden item for planting this fall. The last time they were this hot was in Holland in the 1600s, when the Dutch were ice skating on the canals.
Glad there's no corporate influence on the media.

There really is no reason an ice age can't occur in the next 20 years and we have global warming. The 2 are not mutually exclusive. Just ask NASA.

"That's the paradoxical scenario gaining credibility among many climate scientists. The thawing of sea ice covering the Arctic could disturb or even halt large currents in the Atlantic Ocean. Without the vast heat that these ocean currents deliver--comparable to the power generation of a million nuclear power plants--Europe's average temperature would likely drop 5 to 10°C (9 to 18°F), and parts of eastern North America would be chilled somewhat less. Such a dip in temperature would be similar to global average temperatures toward the end of the last ice age roughly 20,000 years ago.
Some scientists believe this shift in ocean currents could come surprisingly soon--within as little as 20 years, according to Robert Gagosian, president and director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Others doubt it will happen at all. Even so, the Pentagon is taking notice. Andrew Marshall, a veteran Defense Department planner, recently released an unclassified report detailing how a shift in ocean currents in the near future could compromise national security."
