Global Warming has delayed next Ice Age

[demi-conservative]

(CNN)Could this be good news about global warming? Latest research suggests that human intervention has postponed the beginning of the next ice age.
The researchers suggest that even moderate human interference with the planet's natural carbon balance, through activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, might delay the next glacial cycle by 100,000 years.

Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany have found that the Earth's last eight ice ages can be explained by a relation between insolation -- solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface -- and CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. This also helps to predict future glacial cycles.

Now Ice Age is actually catastrophe, will actually destroy most of life on earth.

So it is duty of humans to prevent it. Burn more coal!!!

As usual over the top nonsense. Let's avoid over reaction to third source news on climate change. Despite rumors started by Chicken Little the sky is not falling.

The following is a more comprehensive source concerning the question of the influence of tropical storms and climate change.

Observed trends in hurricanes

A hurricane is a rotating, organized system of thunderstorms and clouds originating in tropical or subtropical waters. Hurricanes are classified according to wind speed. The number and strength of storms is highly variable from year to year, which makes it challenging to detect trends in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes over time.

The advent of satellite technology in the 1970s made it possible to more consistently track hurricanes. Storm counts and strength measurements from before to the 1970s are less consistent, further complicating the study of long-term trends.

To help address these challenges, scientists run hurricane models calibrated with observations over the historical period to project future trends and understand the major factors driving these trends.

Recent research in this area suggests that there has been an increase in intense hurricane activity over the past 40 years.

The National Weather Service added new colors to its rainfall maps to effectively map Hurricane Harvey, which dropped unprecedented amounts of rainfall over Texas.

The category system classifies the strength of Hurricanes on a scale from 1 to 5 according to wind speed. Since the mid-1970s, the number of hurricanes that reach Categories 4 and 5 in strength has roughly doubled. Indices for hurricane activity based on storm surge data from tide gauges further indicate an increase in intensity.

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey produced unprecedented levels of precipitation. The National Weather Service added two more shades of purple to its rainfall maps to effectively map Hurricane Harvey's rainfall amounts.

There is some evidence that in the western North Pacific Ocean, hurricanes—known as typhoons in this region—are also intensifying. Whether hurricanes are intensifying in other regions is less clear, though other recent evidence suggests that the trend toward more intense hurricanes may extend globally.

There has been little change, however, in the frequency of hurricanes globally. Roughly 90 hurricanes occur each year around the world, with by far the greatest number occurring in the largest ocean basin on Earth–the Pacific.

Shunya, low energy attempt of yours to copy me won't work!!

Because, actually it is Science that another Ice Age will happen (it's cycle), and they are big catastrophe to life on earth.

Shunyadragon, science-denier. Sad!
