How is that awesome? I would rather be heading towards another ice age.
Haha.
At the peak of the last ice age, where I'm sitting now was buried under thousands of feet of ice and ice reached to about New York City. I think a global cooling of the same amount would be far more destructive than the global warming we are having now.

Hmm perhaps your right. I believe there were glaciers here as well. Even if we were heading towards another ice age, none of us will be around to see the ice reach New York. :P
Perhaps another "little ice age" would be good enough.

The coldest years of the little ice age would be horrible, too. Like this one:
Though it was really caused by a volcanic eruption. Sounds kinda scary. Perhaps it was one of the coldest years of the last 1000? This graph (File:2000 Year Temperature Comparison.png - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia anomaly relative to the average of 1950-1980)seems to that our year (Year with a rather big summer?) is probably close to the warmest of the last 1000, as it looks like the last 100 years have been warmer than the rest in general and this year looks like it may be close to the hottest on record. And the Medieval Warm Period doesn't seem to have especially good wine production compared to today:
According to that map animation, by the year 2100, the temperate climate zones change the most from todays configuration without much change in the tropics. It also looks by the year 2100 according to this animation that most of the tundra climates will have disappeared and be replaced by Dfc climates.
yes there is a change central florida becomes tropical and south florida becomes a savanna climate
The climate is always changing, so yes, it will change in the future. I think it will continue to warm, but I double that we will see anything catastrophic like the experts predicting. After all, experts are right less often than chance: CBC - Doc Zone - Episode - The Trouble with Experts
In 2100 it might be that subarctic climates will disappear even north of the Arctic circle, and Portsmouth will have some kind of cool-summer Med climate.

COOL!!! can it be 2100 yet. who says global warming is a bad thing I love it. now where did I put that hair spray bottle?
