the tip of the next , not only ice age, but the most severe one in 126 000 years; this superimposed on a scheduled possible pole reversal event.

Sceptics might ask, how could there be an ice age when the earth is supposedly so hot?' Well, there is the Gulf Stream hypothesis, and the 400 000 year glacial record data indicating a faithful pattern. Then again you might say, not in our lifetime'. The answer to that is simple: according to paleoclimatologists, glacial-interglacial periods shift abruptly from one to the other. They mention the word decade' if you want clarity on the matter.

So, what should we do about Climate Change?

We need to get our heads out of the reductionist holes, and get objectivity on the matter. The time for debates and looking to our leaders for help is over. Our so called leaders' are too busy implementing green taxes'; taking advantage of our fear and making more money from it. They will not help us. And our impact? We are surely speeding the whole process up. We are indeed racing towards our death in stead of walking; this worsened by our impact on our resources as well.

We are on the brink of a very impotatnt and possibly catastrofic event happening only once in 126 000 year periods, and we are arguing about solar power and bio-fuel; looking towards our politicians for help, like sheep to the butcher. We are facing extinction in the 21st century, and not only due to climate change, as there are numerous other threats to our survival.

We need to change our calculations to the time and space of this more than probable event, and plan accordingly.

Thus, the human race should abruptly stop it's dabbling with trivial issues and its sibling rivalry. We all need to stand together, collaborate and plan to survive the storm on the horizon

(I will soon post an article with practical potential steps we can take)
