You realise you're just giving them ammo, right, petros? Pretty soon they'll be saying "we have to stop burning fossil fuels because it's causing dangerous cooling!"

Don't answer then.

FFS, I'm just messing around.

If you want my position on climate change, I'm a sceptic. I have no religious convictions on the subject. The data show some warming, but are far from complete, and the models have thus far failed to accurately predict anything.

Just like you, climate change is slow.
What does that mean?
If you want a harder question take the flow of the Jordan at high flow today and compare it to a river that is 12,000ft across and the slope is at a grade that at 6,000 ft you are 'thigh deep' (3ft) and the current is at a speed that it would sweep you off your feet (but not at knee deep).
Part 2, how high would the Dead Sea have to be raised before it could support large schools of fresh water fish?
Part3, using the ratio of change for the Jordan and apply it to the Nile and the Euphrates and Tigris and what would their flow look like and using that flow could the rainfall for the area be determined to some degree of accuracy. If the rainfaill made it as bountiful as Kansas and the Prairies combined that would be a good thing and if it was that green for the whole ice-age it would explain why so much oil is there.

That's because sea ice is made from sea and continental is made from continents.

Almost. Poles have unique climates and are the driest places on earth. It doesn't snow or rain much on the poles. If the ice sheet ice hit record size then albedo is at record as well reflecting heat(light) to make global warming warm.

It's gonna be another cold as a witch's teat winter.
