If leading scientists are to be believed, then a new ice age is very much upon us! Leading Croat Scientist, Professor Vladimir Paar, from Croatia's Zagreb University, has spent decades analysing previous ice ages in Europe and what caused them.
"Previous ice ages lasted about 70,000 years" explains Professor Par. "That's a fact and the new ice age can't be avoided. The big question is what will happen to the people of the European countries which will be under ice? They might migrate to the south, or might stay."
And the professor said that scientists think global warming is simply a natural part of the planet.
"What I mean is that global warming is natural. Some 130,000 years ago the earth's temperature was the same as now, the level of CO2 was almost the same and the level of the sea was four metres higher.

OVERDUEAnd he added: "The reality is that mankind needs to start preparing for the ice age. We are at the end of the global warming period. The ice age is to follow. The global warming period should have ended a few thousands of years ago, we should have already been in the ice age. Therefore we do not know precisely when it could start – but soon."
The Zagreb based scientist says it will still be possible for man to survive in the ice age, but preparation is key!
dude the Ice Age wont begin for another sixty years......so chill
