Oceanic Currents, Conveyors, Arctic Peoples

Now looking closer into the science of climate change. Arctic Peoples have noticed climate change for decades now, and have formed alliances to get others around the world to notice and to act for change. Some NASA scientists are more confused, as they feel they only have limited data to use. Another NASA webpage however shows clearly the possibility of climate change, and what could happen should the arctic ice melt and ocean currents bring on new ice ages. Just as a reminder, from Sonia Shah's Crude: The Story of Oil: "Human civilizations had arisen during an unusually stable period in the planet's climate, which the earth had enjoyed since the end of the last nice age ten thousand years ago. Before, brutally rapid changes in the climate, probably triggered by the switching on and off of ocean currents, had most likely been a merciless constant in Earth's long history. That period of climatic stability, it appeared, was coming to a close." (Shah, Crude, 115)
