Sigma Xi is a scientific research society that meets monthly for fellowship and the exchange of scientific information of all types.
Reynolds’ presentation is titled “Global Warming and the Coming Ice Age.”
[Brevard's Jim Reynolds] ...The consequences of global warming will probably be severe. We will most likely experience another ice age in 10,000 years but global warming will make it happen a lot sooner. We are in a normal warming cycle, but man-made emissions do exacerbate the situation.
As the polar ice caps melt, dry winds that go across the North Pole will pick up excess moisture from the Arctic Ocean and transfer that moisture across Northern Eurasia and North America. Tips offered to limit global warming are good to slow it, but it's probably too late.
