The government of Iceland just declared this problem a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE. The Economist gets it right. Only complete destruction by atomic bombs could cause greater damage to Europe.
Yes. If you're not scared, you don't get it yet. If this occurs, especially now, when the population is a hundred thousand times higher than it was in 11000 BCE (the last time this happened), your food supply is gone, diddums. And if this causes an "Amazon toggle" like it did last time, the entire economy of the world will collapse and the power balances worldwide will change. Ice ages affect the northern hemisphere far more than the southern one. The last ice age covered North America well into what is now the United States. If we have another one, the world will be run by Africa, southern China, and Southeast Asia. If you're not scared, it's not that you're stupid. It's that you don't have an education on this particular issue. We're here to help.
How can people not be worried about their grandchildren?
