Interesting read Akira... Could be that the current global warming would lessen the deepness of the next ice age... and from the looks of that chart, we're there... so take your pick, is it easier to grow food in hot weather, or freezing weather? Either way, what's going to happen on a global scale is going to happen and not much we can do about it... other than prepare. -mark iverson
