Kyros, as you know, tipping points don't require huge changes to flip. A straw can break a camel's back. A butterfly can set off a hurricane. Somebody trading in their black car for a white one could cause reglaciation. <You are too eager to prove the GW crowd wrong. ... North America is too small to trigger reglaciation because of a bad snowstorm anyway. > A snow storm across the USA could certainly tip things over and is likely to be the cause because North America is where the main glaciation occurs. That white snow will reflect sunlight which would otherwise have warmed the ground. That will cool the air, meaning more snow is likely instead of rain. If at the tipping point, we might have just witnessed the beginning of reglaciation. But the snow in Houston a week ago is likely to have been the trigger point and this snow is continuation of the process. Given the obvious sense of humour of whoever created the cosmos [vicious sadistic malevolence] it would make sense for them to time reglaciation for just when when humans are having a world record jamboree in Copenhagen to worry about the opposite. It would also be in keeping with the ignorance and foolishness of humans who wear pants [normally], speak instead of grunting [for the most part] and can stay up on their hind legs for hours rather than resting on their knuckles [though it does get very tiring]. Despite our obvious recent primate antecedents, hairy forearms, paws designed for tree climbing etc, people often confuse themselves with supernatural Gods so are frequently susceptible to hubris, self-adulation, megalomania and certainty. Note how Al Gore is not in the slightest interested in considering the possibility that their theory is wrong and that they shouldn't get all that loot. Even though there has been untimely cooling, spoiling their computer predictions for weather now, they refuse to even slightly acknowledge that THE SCIENCE isn't settled. Full flight hubris! Some reglaciation should cool their ardour and put them in their place. It won't be me who proves them wrong. Nature can easily do it if they are. 10 metres of snow should be persuasive. Mqurice
