Just a curious question about the wave of natrual disasters the world has faced in the recent weeks.
We had a huge tsunami hit the low lands around the Indian Ocean.
We've had a landslide in the USA that's killed about 10 people.
Huge flooding in Carlise, where a few deaths have occurred.
And, although UK has many small tornados a year, the south coast has had a couple of big ones recently.
All the above has happened in the passed few weeks - are we heading for another ice age, or is it just bad luck/coincidence?

I hope my Dad walks thousands of miles in a couple of days to save me and my clever black friend from bad CGI wolves.
The only complaint I have about the floods in Carlisle is that there aren't more of them. The best thing we could do is flood the whole dungheap and turn it into a resevoir so southern Daily Mail readers have enough water for their gardens in summer and thus one less thing to blame on immigrants and bummers.
GOD Carlisle sucks. Apparently Paul Simon was waiting at Carlisle station when he wrote Homeward Bound. Which is a song about hating where one currently is and wanting to go home. And Carlisle...are PROUD of this! At least the people of Hartlepool were just trying to do the right thing when the monkey went a-swinging.

Yep, lets start saving books to burn, seal up the doors and windows, insulate the walls roof and send a loved one to the other side of the country so I can brave the absolute freezing temperature to rescue them - although the frost'll kill you before you could draw breath... Definate blockbuster.
Whatever it is, were all going to be killed eventually.
Whether its global warming or not, which i personally dont think it is (why i will explain later), the world WILL be subject to another ice age at some point down the road. Its enevitable. Its the way its been since the Earth developed a climate. There will continue to be Ice Ages until the Earth is destroyed, or our climate turns into one like on Venus, where the atmosphere (more specifically the Ozone layer) disintagrates and we become exposed to solar radiation, and the Earths surface gets burned to a crisp.
I think the Global Warming thing has both truth in it, and misconceptions. The worlds climate will change whether we interfere with it or not, but pumping gases into the atmosphere will only accelerate the process. Either way, the ice caps will melt at some point and the sea level will rise, which will sadly kill millions in the area already hit by the tsunami, because eg in the bay of bengal, the land for hundreds of miles is only 1-5M above sea level.
Either way, we should be doing something about it now. More specifically, AMERICA should be doing something about it NOW. They output more green house gases into the atmosphere than any other country in the world! I cant remember the exact figure, but it would make any american ashamed. Either they know something we dont (eg green house effect is bull) or they just dont care. Meh, jokes on them, more hurricanes will pound America, more tornados will rip through middle america...oh and, very soon in the future, L.A will be hit by a collosal earthquake (overdue).
Thats my 2 cents.

It's the most rainy period of the year, rain causes landslides. And when was the last time we had a tsunami on that scale?
I think the Earth could do with being frozen, so that more tards aren't born to spam up our lovely forums.

Brrrrr
This is the first time I've heard of a tsunami and landslide in winter monkey_man
I hope I have a race against frost like Donnie Darko.
No, your probably right.
It'd have to be somewhere like Scunthorpe, Cambridge or some other small town - maybe producers of Emmerdale will do us a favour and hold it in the village of Emmerdale. Or Corrie!

Or maybe, just maybe, it's Winter and this has been happening since the beginning of time?
