Snowball Earth?
Transcription:
Imagine the most profound Ice Age you can think of: temperatures plummet
to below zero even at the equator before long ice encloses our entire
planet. Research suggests that this may have happened not once but three times in our planet's past. Welcome to snowball earth.
"A snowball earth is certainly the most extreme climate change we can conceive the earth having ever experienced".
What would happen if the world froze over today? Massive glaciers creep from the poles crushing everything in their path.
"First of all the Canadians are going to have to dig much deeper holes when they go ice fishing. Next, the governors of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan and Maine will probably declare federal emergencies".
Cities grind to a halt power lines collapse and water supplies freeze. Cars won't start, roads are cut off by ice, building strain and crumble under deep drifts of snow, everything is entombed, our fried bodies struggle to survive.
"I think human society would collapse if a snowball earth happened again".
The oceans freeze over, fish die and marine ecosystems collapse, our food supply becomes exhausted, any surviving humans are trapped in an icy hell.
"We would have a mass die-off of humans simply because we could not grow enough food under these conditions".
