Big Freeze

Subscribe - goo.gl/wpc2Q1
Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
If you think you’re safe living in the peaceful climate of today, think again.
Evidence shows that our planet has plummeted into periods of intense cold time and time again in the past. The question is: When will we next freeze over?
We reveal how massive volcanic eruptions can cause global temperatures to drop for up to two years. We fly into an active volcano to collect samples of the gases that form a “global mirror” reflecting sunlight away from the Earth, causing these drops.
The small changes in climate that volcanoes cause often start a domino effect of social and political disasters, resulting in a total reshuffling of life on our planet. The most recent “Earth changing” eruption occurred 1,500 years ago. These events can create or destroy civilisations and cultures, and form much of the modern world we live in today. But ominously these volcanically induced drops in temperature are just a blip compared to other drops that have occurred in the past.
Evidence shows that time after time our planet nose-dives into Freezes that last over a thousand years. The effects on life are catastrophic. Entire species are wiped off the face of the planet. The last of these thousand year Big Freezes happened 11,500 years ago and pushed countless animals to extinction.
These huge Big Freezes can be caused by changes in our oceans. Our oceans constantly flow in a circuit called the Great Ocean Conveyor. This transports cold water to the equator and transports warm water to the poles. But sometimes this system shuts down triggering massive climatic changes around the world and triggering a Big Freeze that lasts a thousand years.
In a bizarre twist, it’s when our planet undergoes warming that these shut-downs occur. Worryingly Global Warming, today, might actually cause the Great Ocean Conveyor to shut-down triggering a devastating Big Freeze. Evidence shows that this shut-down might already be underway.

[@WG-tt6hk]

When I fist came to Austin (having grown up in N.E. Oklahoma) in '77 and saw the panic when 1" of snow fell. It was no big deal to me , but to the general populace it was a catastrophe. The city shut down and people drained the stores (as if they were going to have a month of survival needs). Next day the snow was melted away. Everyone said "I don't know how to drive on this stuff" and then they would go out and prove it.

[@anashomestead5919]

I have lived in a lot of different states, & it is the same, doesn't matter if it is snow, ice, muddy gravel roads with drop offs & lots of sharp curves, or even simple rain on greasy pavement, they don't know how to drive. If they learned to drive with courtesy, & thoughtful kindness toward other drivers it would be amazing. People with Road Rage have no business behind the wheel of any vehicle.

The more I think about it the more I think that our ancestors had things right all along. About 150 years ago, before any of the modern conveniences, people lived a very simple life, using wood is their main source of heat and cooking, they made all of their own food, grew all of their own vegetables, and knew how to survive a long winter, all without setting foot in the grocery store, because they didn’t exist. Even the way they did business was different, instead of buying things they would trade things, I’ll give you an example of what I’m talking about as I am eighth generation Torontonian. I still remember my great grandmother telling us stories of what it was like for her mother and her grandmother at Eight time before any electricity or paved roads existed. They grew all their own food, I knew how to preserve it and make it last all winter. They didn’t have grocery stores but they had neighbours that they would barter goods with, my family was famous for its corn fields, so they would go to market, and to get other necessities they would trade their corn. Everything was reusable, as there was no plastics back then, just paper and glass. Everybody knew how to dress for the cold weather, and they could survive the coldest of winters with ease, because all of their homes were designed to be warmed by either cold or Wood burning fires. Today society is so helpless. If ever we lost all electricity for a long period of time, millions of people would literally die of starvation, especially if it was the winter time in the northern hemisphere. Winter is here in Toronto aren’t too bad, we don’t get much snow, and it’s not really that cold, but people who live in cities like Montreal, Quebec city, Halifax, or on the other side of the country in places like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg, they have absolutely brutal winters, with freezing cold temperatures and tons of snow. modern society has adapted itself to avoid the cold altogether by hiding inside our nice warm houses he did die either electricity or gas, neither of which are available during a black out. Very few people have access to a fireplace, or a wood-burning stove, so nobody could cook. We couldn’t even communicate with each other because we don’t know how to anymore without using Technology. I always remembered my great grandmother telling me that all these new modern conveniences, as she called them, would be mankind’s on doing in the end, and I remember as a child laughing at her, telling her to get with the times, when in reality, she was absolutely right. The cold hard fact is any solar flare powerful enough to make it to earth could literally plunge us into the Stone Age in seconds, and billions with either starve or die from some type of disease, because nobody in this generation knows how to exist without all of our modern conveniences. In that sense I’m very lucky. The cold hard fact is any solar flare powerful enough to make it to earth could literally plunge us into the Stone Age in seconds, and billions would either starve or die from some type of disease, because nobody in this generation knows how to exist without all of our modern conveniences. In that sense I’m very lucky.My great grandmother, grandmother, and assorted aunts and uncle’s of that era passed down through the generations how to survive without using technology, so I grew up with the knowledge already in bedded in my memory. I live in Toronto, I have all of my 50 years, but every summer, I would live at the cottage, because I never wanted to go back home to the city, I absolutely love nature. Spending that much time up north taught me a lot on survival, especially because the only convenience we had was electricity, and because we were so far up north, Power wasn’t exactly reliable, so we often went days with no electricity, but survived just fine, because we had at wood-burning stove, a well-stocked kitchen, tons of preserves, a lake with fish (are used to be an excellent fisherman), And if need be, we did have a rifle for hunting, if ever it came to a point of starvation or survival, thankfully we never had to use it, but my parents taught me have just in case. I live on the 20th floor of the downtown high-rise in the city of almost 7,000,000 people, and all of my friends think I’m absolutely in sane because I have a room in my apartment that I call my survival room I live on the 20th floor of the downtown high-rise in the city of almost 7,000,000 people, and all of my friends think I’m absolutely insane because I have a room in my apartment that I call my survival room,. I keep it stocked with enough food, water, candles, batteries, emergency first aid, and every single other thing you could need to survive should the worst happen and we lose power for weeks or months. I live with my spouse and my mother-in-law, so we have plenty of food to last us for at least five months, always making sure that the inventory is used and then replaced immediately to ensure the food is still edible. All of my friends think I’m crazy, they even laughed at me, but remember that huge black out that we had set affected most of New York state, the East Coast and Toronto? I remember because it was shortly after 911, and everybody assumed it was another attack, so while all of my friends and family were running around like crazy trying to get supplies, I just sat back in my chair, with my candles burning, and read a good book. Luckily our power came back on within 12 hours, because unbeknownst to us, the building we lived in at the time, was right behind City Hall, and was hooked into the same power supply, and since City Hall is one of the most important buildings, we got our power back before everyone else, but all those people who made fun of me, the ones that lived out in the suburbs, were suddenly knocking on my door, because none of them had any food or water, and now they were begging me for help. I help them of course, but not before I made them apologize to me for calling me crazy and making fun of me, after that people treated me with a lot more respect, because by sure coincidence, I was talking about a long-term blackout one day before it actually happened, so now do they not always think I’m always prepared for everything, they think I’m psychic! LOL! I’m serious, people are always asking me when the next disaster is going to happen, how the hell am I supposed to know? All I know is that I’m prepared for pretty much anything. Because I work at healthcare, I have a very very well-stocked medical supply at home, including all basic necessary antibiotics, pain killers, wound dressings, splints, portable defibrillator, you name it I’ve got it. I’m not a PhD, I have my masters in medical radiation science in us and in medical laboratory sciences, but working in that career for 20 years you learn a few things. Anyways, sorry for rambling on, just want to make my point clear, never assume anything, and always be prepared for the worst case scenario, because although it probably won’t happen, if it does you’ll be very thankful you listen to me, because it can literally mean the difference between life and death, especially if you live in a very tall tower on a high floor. Oh yeah, my latest and newest acquisition, I bought a portable solar power panel, which can generate enough electricity to run all my electrical appliances for many many days. I just stick them up on my window, and I get free electricity, as much as I want, and even if an EMF pulse from the sun knocked out all electronics, the solar powers would still work, and many of the devices I have in my home are protected against these type of phenomena, whereas most devices with an Electrical circuit would die, everything I have will be just fine, it wasn’t cheap, it cost me about $2000, but considering that I’m actually making a profit selling the power back into the power grid, it’s already paid for itself. If you have the means I highly suggest getting one, if you live in the house, better still to get A wind propelled generator and a solar powered generator, so if one fails you still have power. The way things are going in the world right now, I have no doubt that World War III will surely break out, and if it does, much of our lives are going to be destroyed, and will be plunged back into the Stone Age, I have no plans of dying anytime soon, which is why I am so prepared, I will not let any member of my family go hungry, if you care at all about yourself or your family, make your own survival room in your home, believe me you won’t regret it.

There's a reason why the descriptor climate change is preferred over global warming. Climate in different parts of world gets cooler or hotter as average annual global temps are increasing. Eastern USA, above Mason Dixon line, has been cooler lately due to polar vortices caused by global warming.

[@ExistentialNathan]

As the temperatures rise, more glacial ice melts (fresh water) and mixes with oceans (salt water). That impacts the weather cycle. Warming oceans intensify weather, i.e. hurricanes, tornadoes, thunder storms, flooding, blizzards, droughts. Those are some factors of climate change and the earth warming.

Whatever the cause of the warming, there is one thing that never gets discussed. The Gulf Stream. That is what keeps Northern Europe temperate. If too much freshwater ends up in the Atlantic, that could slow or even stop the Gulf Stream, If that happens, northern Europe and the northeastern US and Canada will be in real trouble, with much colder weather and significantly worse storms.

One snowstorm, not even that cold, is not _"climate change"_ . Nor is it an _"ice age"_ . And the layers of an ice core are not annual. They are event layers. Multiple ice storms in a single year make multiple layers. There is very little correlation between layers and time.

Whether man is changing the climate or not, the weather has changed for the worse in my lifetime, and I am 57. Where my mom’s family is from, there are crops that won’t grow there anymore because it has gotten hotter and drier, just in 5 decades. Change, regardless of cause, or whether we warm or cool isn’t what worries me. People forget that diseases like yellow fever and malaria were common in Charleston a century ago. Cases of malaria have occurred in Macon, GA with no explanation how the person contracted it. Lyme used to be just in the NE; now it’s common in Virginia and NC. We can adjust to changes in our food supply. Changes in disease patterns will be what causes the biggest problem, and the most deaths.

[@pisces1908m]

What most people don't know is that we are presently going through a "Grand Solar Minimum Cycle," aka GSM. This cycle is usually a 30 year cycle that is more intense then any other cycle in the past. Minimum cycles happen on average every 230 years. Our sun is going quieter now and losing its domino affect on us. Ergo weakening our magnetosphere that protects daily. This is why even when the sun as at it weakest. Its affect on us is even more intense because of virtually no protection. This is also allowing Cosmic Radiation getting to us as well, aka microwave. Affecting our volcanoes, causing even more Earthquakes. Our sun is nucleating and getting into our atmosphere along with the volcanic ash plums. Creating a absorption of fresh water in our atmosphere and making a shield around our planet. Freezing us. Adding to this as a worse case scenario is that if our sun keeps on creating "Reverse Polarization" in certain regions. Our sun could quiet literally push us away from that "Life Giving Zone." Instead of the sun holding us in place. It will push us away. Making Planet Earth into a "SNOWBALL EARTH." This has happened before over a 100 million years ago. People need to think NOW on how will you eat and keep warm in the future and survive. Wind energy is my only thought because Wind Vortex's are presently forming around the planet now. The sun will no longer be a acceptable energy source. Also remember this. It isn't just planet Earth that will be affected by this minimum cycle change. It will be all of the planet's within our Solar System. It kind of makes sense why this space race is moving on now. The Elites are trying to leave the planet elsewhere to survive while planet Earth goes through its DEEP FREEZE. Most likely reducing the 7.5 billion people down to a mere 500,000,000 ml just like the Georgia Guide Stones States.

[@Nirvanexus]

Basicly keep your eyes out for any news regarding a supervolcano eruption. If one happens, you should start to prepare for a big freeze immediatly. Screw the economy. It's all on electrical systems, which won't work, since power will be out for long enough to set everything at 0, so you won't be in debt that long. Survival is what's most important as soon as the big freeze starts. Then we can start to try to figure out how we regenerate power (solar panels will still work as all modern solar panels just need light. We just have to keep them clean from snow and ice.) and then once we got power back, we can start making fairly large domes, that can recreate a temperate climate and thus get some of our more pleasant life back. A big freeze would be great for humanity as it will prepare all future generations to how colonizing other planets might end up being like. And we will survive a big freeze. Our ancestors survived an ice age in the stone ages. We are more than prepared for another one now, with all our technology and knowledge. Especially our knowledge. The library at Aleksandria has been rebuilt in a modern form and in there is all knowledge known to man, stored. Including lots and lots of books. As soon as power is back, we would be able to access the servers and thus use the knowledge to rebuild society. Artificial Intelligence will also be great at helping us here, since it can be used in robots that can then go about building for us. We will survive. Many will die, but humanity as a whole will survive.

Scott I found it interesting also, one has to keep an open mind, I am more likely to follow scientific research than any government who in the name of climate change are trying to find ways to extort more money.

Actually the science community has so moved on from AGW. It's based on the warming period rebound after the mini ace in the 1800's. It's no longer warming and ice sheets are growing. It's our variable sun that drives global temperatures, not us. The AGW models are based on Venus's heat absorbing brown cloud covering, Earth has an albedo effect white cloud covering, Earth can't warm if solar radiation is reflected back into space. Just about everyone over the age of 5 knows it's always warmer on a clear day than on a cloudy one.

[@seanrodgers1839]

Shutting down the ocean conveyor will make Europe much colder, like Canada. Cars still start. People survive just fine at minus 30, I go skiing at -35 This does not change the total amount of heat on Earth, just the distribution. Maybe the Sahara desert will turn green, it was green not long ago. Some place else will have to be warmer. The show over sensationalizes it. Volcanoes cool the whole Earth, this is the problem.
