Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age

From Pravda: "The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science." This ought to be a real blow to the Gorebal warming alarmists who have turned a blind eye to this planet's climate history. Funny how every coming potential catastrophe has the same solution: disarm capitalism, raise taxes, put as many as possible under the thumb of government...

UPDATE: And don't wear earrings if you're in Slovenia. Hmmmm. Makes sense considering piercing act like extended surfaces (fins) enhancing heat transfer. They also have a much higher thermal capacitance (they'll stay hot or cold longer) than the ear (or nose) that they're attached to.

UPDATE#2: Maybe you shouldn't wear piercing in Alaska either. (HT: drudge)
