Post Europe headed for an ice age?
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8398

Basically there's been a slowdown of the current that brings warm water north in the atlantic. Apparently this current raises European temperatures, but the amount of water heading that way has dropped by 30%. This brings fears that the current may fail altogether and plunge the entire continent into an ice age. :)

Get ready to invade Africa, my European companions!

An old theory, but finally proven. However, an ice age seems a little far-fetched. I expect more a situation like the American east coast has now. It won't get any colder then that.

I'm getting my post-nuclear bunker ready. :) I don't mind cold too much...but I usually don't have to deal with -50 either. :roll: But if the cavemen could survive, I surely could. As an added bonus, I still got their hairy pelt but my superior brain. :D

But somehow I doubt you are as clever as them. The Neanderthals were incredible people being able to live in those conditions.

They also pooped, pee'd, cooked, slept, lived and buried their own dead all in the same cave.

Well they aren't as stupid as they were made out to be, pretty much as intelligent as us and survived for 3 Ice Ages before we appeared. That is a nice track record. Archaeologists are not even certain how they died out tho there is a modern opinion that it may be due to our ability to talk that won us it.

pretty similar but the fact we could communicate better may have led to us being dominate. its complex.
