Full Quote: Greenhouse Effect Culprit May Be Family Car; New Ice Age by 1995? As the tropical oceans heat up (due to increased greenhouse gases), more of their moisture is evaporated to form clouds. The increasing pole-tropic wind systems move some of these additional clouds toward the poles, resulting in increased winter rainfall, longer and colder winters and the gradual buildup of the polar ice sheets. This phenomenon has come to be widely recognized by climatologists in recent years. What most of them do not recognize is that this process may be the engine that drives the 100,000-year cycle of major ice ages, for which there is no other plausible explanation… we may be less than seven years away, and our climate may continue to deteriorate rapidly until life on earth becomes all but unsupportable…
