which they didn't used to be and in this new kind of a beginning of an ice house state you could say small changes in the way the earth moves around the sun and relative to the sun actually make natural cycles where you bring slight warming or slight cooling to the key polar areas where the ice sheets began and where they start to melt. and so basically you know all you have to do to make an ice age come and go is that you cool down the summers a little bit in the arctic areas of northern canada let's say and more snow falls in the winter than can melt in the summer so it builds up over time and if you give it enough time you build up a giant ice sheet that flows under its own weight and buries places like new york city where i'm sitting right now as it once was. you you talk in your book about how we're scheduled for another ice age in about fifty thousand years or another cooling period and that we may have already smoothed that out with the carbon that were thrown into the atmosphere right now and yet that might not be the best thing perhaps it perhaps the wisest thing would have

and so basically you know all you have to do to make an ice age come and go is that you cool down the summers a little bit in the arctic areas of northern canada let's say and more snow falls in the winter than can melt in the summer so it builds up over time and if you give it enough time you build up a giant ice sheet but flows under its own weight and buries places like new york city where i'm sitting right now as it once was. you talk in your book about how we were scheduled for another ice age in about fifty thousand years or another cooling period and that we may have already smoothed that out with the carbon that we're throwing in the atmosphere right now and yet bad might not be the best thing perhaps it perhaps the wisest thing would have been for us and going forward to hang on to carbon to keep that carbon available for future generations to use if they need to intervene with the climate as it were and. framing this poorly but but you know the concept i'm talking about you can you speak to that. sure yeah actually involving ice ages is another thing that caught my attention
