If we hit the new ice age tomorrow, how long would you be able to survive?

There will no power, everything would freeze including the ocean surface, but life underneath it lives, all the modern stuff you enjoy would cease to exist without power including heating.

How do you think you’d make it through. Let’s say it’s a short ice age for 10 years (hypothetical) but a very severe one.

Well let's think about that.

At the high of 120°f during the middle of a summer day and the low at around 40°f during the middle of a winter's night and dropping it by 30°f for an ice age.

That would be just about what it was like when I lived in the mountains without heat! 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DeWayfarer ice age would be way cooler. It’s like a nuclear winter with sun completely blocked and earth’s surface loaded with ice.

@DareToSayIT I live relatively near the hottest desert in the world!

Think about that!

DareToSayIT · 31-35, M

@DeWayfarer yeah, but when there’s no sun, there would be no heat. Ice age means the world turns into an ice bound desert.

@DareToSayIT ice age doesn't mean no sun! Just the orbit around the sun is more eccentric.

Some places around the world will still be livable.

@DeWayfarer I’m taking about a nuclear winter. Sun completely blocked. Like after a comet strike or humans waging nuclear war. The dust wouldn’t settle down for decades. The only places I can think is under the ground if the structures are designed properly.

@DareToSayIT please stipulate that in the post.

@DeWayfarer already did “everything would freeze including the ocean surface” all the scenarios are described in the description.

@DareToSayIT I don't always have the time to read the comments!

Sorry! 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DeWayfarer “description” it’s also in the description, but anyway. It’s all good.
