Which would you prefer? Explain.

I'd prefer ice age. Cold and dark is the dominating factor of space. NOTHING can escape. Look at Pluto & Charon for example :D

Also, just because I love it cold anyway :D

Ice Age because I already live in Regina, which is closest thing to it on earth. So I'm used to the weather conditions.

I'd say Ice age for the same reason. But I expect that with global warming, there will be plenty of cold places, even if they are all farther north.

GLOBAL WARMING, BRING IT ON!!!

I hate the cold.

I prefer Ice Age - I love running outside in the cold (w/a sweater, of course)

Global warming would be less detrimental to the earth's ecosystems than global cooling

well....global warming is going to make where i live like what Finland is now....so they both have pretty much the same result


meh

Awww! Can't I have both? :D

Ice age. Global warming would turn the entire planet into a giant freakin Amazon jungle. I don't like living in places where bugs the size of large dogs are constantly trying to tear pieces of me off, drink my blood, live in my colon, lety eggs in my eye, etc. I HATE bugs and parasites. Since they hate the cold, then bring on the cold!

On second thought, as much as i love the cold, I wouldn't survive because I have absolutely no fat on me, so I'd have to move to florida, at the minimum. :(

Global warming,who cares if half the world floods because of it, it will probably drown a lot of places I don' like anyways, besides whats that compared to being really cold.

Awww! Can't I have both? :D

I think you can.
I don't remember where I read it, but there was some study that said that global warming will screw up the water currents that help to average out the worlds temperature because the melting icecaps would release fresh water at the polls making the equatorial line excessivly salty due to disproportionate evaporation.

This would mean that after a brief warming period, any place that gets snow in the winter and warmth in the summer now would become too cold to live all year round, and that any place that's at least comfortable warm at the coldest time of the year would be come suffocatingly hot with very little drinkable water all year round.

But this would mean that there would no longer be enough oxegen to go around because oxegen production requires plankton that has evolved to live in water of about 3% saltiness and is not frozen solid.

Hey heat it up!.. More Sahara and Painted Desert across the Equator and suddenly us Canucks are sitting pretty as a nice vacation place. Vancouver gets sunk, Okanogan Valley gets flooded, Kimberly is almost Ocean front property. Hudson Bay expands and Calgary, Regina & Edmonton are sitting nice and close to a nice and cool Ocean.

I think you can.

How very ... um ... interesting. I suspect you underestimate the adaptiveness of the biosphere.

.
that would be the British Isles. "Heated" by the North Atlantic drift, which would get forced southward by the melting icecaps

like i said above, global warming/ice age....same difference

global warming, i hate cold, besides due to clobal warming a cold water current has formed in the atlantic making harsh winters, i love snow! :)

an ice age would end eventually (in like 10,000 years :eek: )
But global warming seems permanent. So... ice age

None of them are permanent. Thw world used to be alot hotter When the dinosaurs roamed, now it is cooler. And We had an ice age and it is now gone, hence none are perm.

Uhh... global warming is tearing a hole in the atmosphere
That seems kinda permanent... ehh, what do i know

Where is the "both" option?

Hey heat it up!.. More Sahara and Painted Desert across the Equator and suddenly us Canucks are sitting pretty as a nice vacation place.

Awwww.... Ya sure you don't wanna cool it down? :D

GLOBAL WARMING, BRING IT ON!!!

I hate the cold.

i'm with ya on that one!

Ice Age. For two reasons.

1. I've got to put all this hair on me to good use.

2. Easier to keep putting things on than take things off. Eventually we'd all be running around naked. Wait a second...

Hot snow? :confused:

I'd rather have global warming. Of course, Oklahoma would become a big desert. Or maybe OKC would be in the middle of a big shallow sea. I read that all the central plains of the US used to be a shallow inland sea. Who'd of thought it. Ocean front property in Oklahoma City.

uhh... I guess you didn't realize that some years the hole in the Ozone Layer shrinks?

You do realise that technically, both are happening? Global warming is causing ice sheets to melt, which are mostly fresh water, which disrupts the global hot/cold currents, which in turn causes coastlines around the world to freeze due to no more hot equatorial waters reaching them.

global warming.it becomes warmer....ooooo so warmer.

Ice age .... the mastodons are getting out of hand.
