They used that very premise to make a movie: "The Day After Tomorrow," starring Dennis Quiad. They had New York flooded to the waist of the Statue of Liberty and the lowland swamp that is present day DC was still dry (go Figure).
Maybe it can happen, maybe it will happen, but you know what? If you aren't prepared to survive you won't. End of Line.
Surviving any disaster is a matter of chance and preperation. Knowledge is preperation, food storage is preperation, substainable living is preperation, choosing a location is perperation, and if a person is smart (I'm at least not dumb) they are doing all of those things.

Was it all those cavemen driving around in their SUV's that caused the first extreme winter that caused the ice age?  Sorry I couldn't resist Keith |

in this, as in all things, follow the money. the statement that i like the best "the earth has a fever and our colder than normal winter is the earth having chills". i about fell out of my chair laughing. i think it was in some brit papers. debate has been suppressed. good science sacrificed to the god of PC and green profit. the earth does it's thing. as brian says, the best we can do is be prepared. there are many other things in nature that pose a more immediate danger than + temp change. i'd be a lot more excited if they said the earth was cooling. that could be a real disaster!  |

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

I believe it to be a weather cycle, Not a man mad condition. California would be the first to be affected if it was man made pollution that caused all the weird weather in the world.

News Flash: A chicken in California is claiming the sky is falling.
In Fresno, Mr. Chicken Little says that due to increased immissions of heavy metals the world will soon reach the point that the air we breathe will be too heavy to remain suspended in the atmosphere........

From the article:
"In millennia past, however, before the Arctic totally froze and locked up, and before some critical threshold amount of fresh water was locked up in the Greenland and other glaciers, these 1500-year variations in solar energy didn't just slightly warm up or cool down the weather for the landmasses bracketing the North Atlantic. They flipped on and off periods of total glaciation and periods of temperate weather.
And these changes came suddenly. "
Guess this was from a Bush ancestor in prehistoric times. The article seems counter to the point of man causing climate change.
Don't forget,hurricanes are another way nature moves heat and moisture from the tropics to points further away to balance out the difference.
Some people say hurricanes are a bad thing but places like the Everglades and many areas of the southeast US depend on these rains for their water.
The only time it's bad is when man gets in the way of nature.

That's why they don't call it global warming anymore....the data does not add up. So they now call it global change.....  |

And don't forget that all that CO2 has suppressed the sun from having sun spots over the last year. That's going to hurt too.
Hmm..no mention about how a reletive trickle of fresh water (same temp as the surrounding water) is going to stop a river 40x bigger than all of our rivers. Sounds fishy to me.
