Download È eBook, PDF or Kindle ePUB ¿ John Gribbin The Sixth Winter characters ñ eBook, PDF or Kindle ePUB Ice Age will be triggered off It could happen in a thousand years' time or in a century from now Or it could uite literally happen next winter This book is fiction only because the events described have not yet happened But it is not science fiction because all the science in the book is fact When the year arrives that we see the sixth winter resembling 1792 within the space of a decade or so then the Ice Age will be with us in a matter of weeks and it will develop very much as described he. Written in the late 70s when the Milankovitch cycle was actually understood the writer postulated about the upcoming Ice Age Of course scientists at the time said that according to the cycles we should be beginning a new Ice Age shortly The shortly could mean in a thousand years however because of the length of geological time Anyway the media at the time sensationalized that finding into a mini frenzy that the Ice Age was imminent Pardon the pun but cooler heads eventually prevailed and the frenzy died down The key is that the scientists weren t saying anything was imminent in the human time scale of hundreds of yearsThis book is an outgrowth of what if the Ice Age was starting It s written well and covers various groups of people as they suffer through it or try to figure out what in the world is happeningMy favorite part of reading it was the ability to step back in time to when we just simply didn t understand as much as we do now when we actually KNOW that Global Warming WILL cause massive problems and environmental and social upheavalThe books descriptions of suffering are probably the most unsettling as the human race will suffer greatly under either too cold or too hot scenarios Yet in the book just as now we re refusing to believe that it s even possible never mind how we re going to fight it

I loved this book It is one of my all time favorites It is a great story that was written by scientists and very relevant considering today s global warming catastrophes I hope this book has another publication because it s worth the read I bought a used copy on
