The current Ice Age we are sitting in (meaning Earth had Ice Ages before) is mostly due to the positions of Greenland and the separation of South America and Antarctica.
Moon has nothing to do with Ice Age.
Greenland, along with Siberia and North Pole forms a quasi-lake where ice cold water can be stored without escaping.
Separation of South America and Antarctica allows very cold current to circulate around Antarctica where ice sheets and glaciers form.
Combine these factors with the Milankovitch cycle, you have a very regular glacial and inter-glacial periods for this current Ice Age.
Remember the movie Titanic?
(It was actually its sister ship that sank whose identities were swapped in the last minute)
Northern Atlantic was becoming full of icebergs and that’s over 100 years ago.
Chunks of ice which are icebergs break off the glaciers on Greenland because glaciers are getting bigger and reaching the Atlantic coast,
There is only one scientific model that explains to any degree of certainty the events and conditions necessary for an Ice Age. Cold winters, cool summers, warm ocean temperatures for increased evaporation and high particulate in the atmosphere to block solar radiation. All this would occur, as explained in Genesis, with a catastrophic global flood.
Tremendous global volcanic activity including the ocean basins, as the mantle is torn apart, sending super-heated subterranean water and ash high into the atmosphere, heating the ocean temperatures by 1-5 degrees C.
No other model proposed has been able to explain the glaciation, especially the models postulating looooong ages for the ice to build.
This is just a scientifically logical theory.
"If you had done your homework on this issue, you would see that we have not assumed a constant rate. (Ironically, if the rate were constant, it would not be a problem for 4.5 billion years.) The rate is inversely proportional to the sixth power of distance. This is because both the force of the moon, which induces tides, and the force that the tides induce on the moon are dipoles, each of which goes as 1/r3. So, the combined tidal force on the moon goes as 1/r6. Integrating over r yields a maximum possible age much less than 4.5 billion years."1
After my father came home from Burma - WW2, he contacted several government agencies, with this proposal: KEEP THE WAR EFFORT RECYCLING PROGRAM in operation. All the logistics were already in place. It would have been effortless to continue; but no, our politicians believed they knew more than a cabinetmaker from PA. It could have eliminated landfills, and it would have given a leg up on stopping the tsunami of plastics that now pollutes our planet. Instead of using the waste for the war effort, it could have been turned into profitable industries. The horses have long left the barn, and are in the next county; so closing the door is moot.
This isn’t going to be a good look for the Swedish mental midget and her legion of followers. Her father and an Indian climate activist have been responsible for all of her posts on social media. This is an organized business not an organic rise to the top of the climate craziness pyramid.
One of the biggest thing driving plastics is simply health concerns and the cost of recycling bottles.
There’s always a higher risk of contamination when you reuse bottles and other containers for food and beverages.
Also, crazy as it sounds it’s generally cheaper to use fresh, raw metals than to recycle, particularly with Aluminum.
With steel recycling is even more difficult because you can’t easily control the quality of steel going in which makes it pretty well impossible to have a consistent high quality product going out.
It’s crazy but recycling creates a whole new dimension of costs.
Plastic would not be the monster it is today, if recycling began in it’s infancy. Remember, the war effort recycling was already in place, and it was not necessary to start from square one. It was just abandoned. Continuing could have caused no harm. Not continuing, well, have a look.
I get that, the problem is the energy and transportation requirments, sanitation, and the inability to control the quality of the end products produced.
If your spec’s call for a specific type of steel or aluminum you must start from scratch.
Except when prices for scrap go astronomically high it’s simply cheaper to make your metals starting with ores or raw base stock.
What I said: Some intelligent higher power said. I’m giving you a pristine planet, with wonderful resources; and I’m giving you the ability to reason, solve problems, and be able to thrive. So whatcha gonna do? Should have included in the contract; DON’T BE FUCKIN GREEDY.
The planet will outlast us all. A billion years from now those landfills will be full of oil and coal and anther incarnation of humanity will be building their own civilization with it.
Oh Yeah, the Earth abides. Once we’re erased from the planet, the Earth will clean itself up toot sweet. A few million years in geologic time. All that will remain pointing to our existence, is the gold - platinum ( and a few other metals that don’t degrade ) that we refined; and possibly Twinkies. Even glass will wear away physically. Time & pressure is all it takes. In fact, even the metals would wear away physically from erosion; so maybe just Twinkies.
The left always defaults to hiding behind human shields. That’s why they use children to push climate change, all this trans shit, their attempts to eviscerate the 2nd Amendment. That’s why the migrant invaders at our southern border push the few women and children they have with them to the forefront. Its why terrorists hide in population centers.
It’s about power and control and these people will stoop to literally anything to get it.
The ejection of material into the air does not cause temperature variance. The Sun still shines and warms up ‘the debris’ floating around. The fact that no light goes through and thus most of the vegetation dies, or other poisons kill the higher forms of life, does not induce an ice-age.
The more material there is in the atmosphere the more heat is reflected back into space.
That’s the whole premise behind nuclear and volcanic winters and how asteroid strikes can create the same conditions leading to ice ages.
Block out the sun long enough and temperatures absolutely cool off dramatically.
One single eruption in 1916 created a weather/climate disaster that killed thousands due to famine, along with colder than normal temps, unusually large snowfalls and thick ice.
