Palaeoclimate: Into an ice age
Kurt M. Cuffey1
Abstract
Analyses of a new ice core from Greenland yield the first high-resolution picture of the start of the last ice age in the Northern Hemisphere, and of the onset of climate instability as our planet cooled.
The relatively warm and stable climate that humanity has enjoyed for the past 10,000 years will inevitably give way to a new ice age — a tremendous environmental transformation that is destined to bury the sites of Boston, Edinburgh and Stockholm under glacial ice. In The Day After Tomorrow, the Hollywood movie most notable for its public abuse of thermodynamics, a new ice age starts in only one week.
