New to you it might be, but a BIG and FINAL glaciation would NOT be fun, even for snowboarders. Though, as the glaciers move south, they'll have fun for maybe 5 years sliding down all the mountains newly covered with snow. Imagine going down Kilimanjaro, all the way, on a snowboard. volcano.und.nodak.edu A runaway glaciation is infinitely worse than a runaway greenhouse effect, which would still leave parts of Earth habitable. In the event of runaway greenhouse, with avian flu cutting the human population to 2 billion [70% mortality rate currently] and women choosing not to have children anyway, and some genetic engineering and selection to make people smarter and better, the 500 million still alive in 2100 would easily fit into a few nice cities nearer the poles. Maybe Antarctica and Greenland will be the human habitats with people having an endless summer by migrating each year. Mqurice
