THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!

The coming ice age could be just one winter away

Robert Felix argues convincingly that, rather than runaway heating due to humans' burning fossil fuels, the world is much more likely to face rapid onset of the next ice age in the near future.

"Metres of snow every day for months on end", as seems to have occurred before, would kill everyone in northern countries - Russia, Poland, Germany, Scandinavia, northern Britain, Canada, northern USA - from Moscow to Seattle - in just a few days.

Elementary risk analysis shows that, at the very least, detailed studies of possible counter-measures and even preparations for a "crash program" are URGENTLY needed. 

Governments have already spent hundreds of millions, supposedly to avert global warming, yet even the worst-case risk is decades away.

The coming ice age could be just one winter away.

Have you ever picked up a book, read the preface or back cover and just knew this was something you had been waiting for? Well, that is the way both my husband and I feel about your book. He has his Masters in Education and I have my Juris Doctorate in Law.

I have never thought much of the data surrounding the global warming issue. I have always felt it was a scam. The very thing that was missing is the thing you discuss in length in your book Not by Fire---volcanism.

We are both looking forward to reading your recent book. I just had to let you know.

I love Not by Fire but by Ice
29 Mar 10 - You have no idea how much I have enjoyed your book,
"Not by Fire but by Ice". I love it. I am a big believer that the Holocene
period is close to a end. When the ice age happens I don't see how
90% plus of the bipeds are not taken out.

I loved reading Not By Fire But By Ice. Seldom have I come across books that are difficult to put down, but this book was definitely that. I read it in 2 days and reread it several weeks later. I also lent it coworkers to inform them also about the Global Warming Alarmists. I think you're a Master of the subject and more people need to listen.

I am a simple man by many measures and you were able to convey far-reaching geo-physical concepts quite handily. Your writing style is very engaging and informative. This book needs to put into the hands of many more people.

I have just ordered Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps as well and look forward to reading it.

I just ordered Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps, I hope it is as good as Not by Fire but by Ice. I am a Park Ranger in Northern Idaho where we have shoveled a lot of snow so far this year and it keeps accumulating. Can't stop dwelling on the message in your first book as I shovel and plow every day! I'm originally from Gig Harbor, Washington. I returned there this Christmas to visit family and friends and there was more snow! During the visit my mother (age 77) read Not by Fire but by Ice and was impressed. Now my son, who will be graduating from University of Hawaii with a BS this spring is reading the book. He has been on the global warming band wagon due to the nature of his studies. This will be a test to see if his mind is still open. Thanks for your wonderful work.                                                      - Jeff Smith

Mr. Felix,

I have been a skeptic about global warming caused by man almost from the beginning.  Natural cycles over the millenniums seemed more sensible.   After hearing your recent interview on Coast to Coast I decided that your books would be well worth the time to read:  ordered "Not by Fire" and "Magnetic Reversals" from your web site today.

You should know that at our local Borders in Oak Brook, IL, Not by Fire is not stocked but used copies can be ordered.  The 1999 hard copy is offered at "from $15.95" and the 1997 soft cover is "from $62.90".  I will take good care of my copies                                                                                  - Charles Shemely

Email from a reader
27 May 10 - Hi Robert, I am a long time visitor to ‘iceagenow’. I really enjoy reading and visiting all the links. I cannot imagine all the work that goes into it.
It is pretty scary to realize how the IPCC operates. How large masses of people take their word as ‘gospel’, and how reputable scientists are ignored or aggressively attacked in the media because their views differ from that of the official line adopted by the IPCC.

"This guy has done his homework! As soon as word gets out about this book, it will be an instant best-seller.

Felix builds his case by methodically going through all the evidence that has been amassed on geomagnetic reversals and excursions, periods of increased volcanism, mean sea levels, heavy metal deposition, ice ages and periods of increased glaciation, mass extinctions, and the periodicity of these events in context of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy. He also debunks several of the popular myths such as asteroid impact and the current greenhouse gas theory.

Felix’s research is exhaustive - 28 page bibliography (in a 10-point font) - and his documentation is equal to that you might expect from a doctoral thesis. No hand waving explanations here. And yet the book is written in an easy to follow, logical progression that leads the reader to the conclusion that we are on the verge of the next great period of glaciation, if not in the beginning of it. His sobering conclusion is that when it happens, it happens all at once, not over thousands or millions of years. Just imagine nine stories of snow in a day. Think it's impossible? Think again. You
need to read this now.

I've arranged to get at least 10 more copies of this book to send to people I know will be able to appreciate it. Eighteen dollars for a personalized autographed copy with free shipping is a steal (http://iceagenow.com) I'm going to get mine now before demand is so great that this kind of personal service is impossible.

"I was skeptical when I began reading Not by Fire but by Ice. But I found a book so well-researched and interesting that it compelled me to read more.

At the end of the year, perhaps we should take some time out to consider the end of mankind?

That’s what Robert W. Felix has been doing, gathering a vast array of scientific fact and conjecture in Not by Fire, but by Ice. We have been inundated by claims that global warming will destroy the earth or at least humanity, but Felix believes that another ice age is more likely to wreak havoc and it will be caused by the heating of the oceans by vast numbers of underwater volcanic activity and triggered by a reversal of the magnetic poles.

Before you dismiss this as just  another claim about the climate, it must be noted that what scientists do know is that vast, identified cycles of activity occur and, among them, are ice ages. The last one ended about 11,500 years ago and we are now at the edge of a cycle that will proceed the next one. Moreover, it is known that the earth’s magnetic poles have reversed in the past and, each time, they seemed to trigger an ice age.

I cannot do justice to the extensive facts cited to underwrite the author’s views and I cannot dismiss them either. Anyone interested in the issues concerning the earth’s climate and its past will want to read this interesting book.

The Myth of Greenhouse Gases
Phil Brennan
Feb 23, 2005

“Listen up. This is very important.

“In fact, the global warmiacs couldn't be further from the truth. As I argued in my January 13 column, Let Eyes See and Ears Hear, and in my 1997 investigative report, "Global Warming or Globaloney," high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are indeed a dire warning that something very unpleasant is about to befall our planet and those of us who reside here, but it has nothing to do with global warming.

“Precisely the opposite: It is both the harbinger and the cause of a coming new ice age.

“Now comes Robert W. Felix, who in his book "Not by Fire but by Ice" argues persuasively that it is not global warming but ocean warming that is pushing CO2 levels through the roof.

 “According to Felix, the oceans are warming as the result of widespread underwater volcanic activity, which he thoroughly documents. He adds that "We've forgotten that this isn't the first time our seas have warmed. Sea temperatures also shot upward 10º to 18ºF just prior to the last ice age. As the oceans warmed, evaporation increased. The excess moisture then fell to the ground as giant blizzards, giant storms and floods (Noah's Deluge type floods), and a new ice age began."

“And he warns, "The same thing is happening today. "Our seas, heated by underwater volcanism, are leading us directly into the next ice age ... and we don't even know it.

“The book is an easy read, even though it is crammed full of technical detail that Felix manages to explain even to scientific dunderheads like me.

“Felix emphasizes that the record proves that we are on the verge of the onset of a new ice age. "Ice ages begin and end abruptly every 11,500 years. First comes an enormous flood, a Noah's Deluge type of flood, which ends the previous ice age. Then comes a period of warmth similar to today's ... which lasts about 11,500 years. Then the next ice age begins – catastrophically.

 “He emphasizes over and over again that the onset of an ice age is both sudden and violent, lasting about 20 years, and anyone paying attention to what is happening to our planet will understand that we are probably somewhere in that 20-year period now. When it ends, huge numbers of us will go extinct, just as did the dinosaurs, and just as rapidly and as violently.

“Anyone who reads this blockbuster of a book and pays attention to his regularly updated Web site will understand just what we face, and will come away with a feeling of absolute contempt for those politically inspired global-warming advocates who are lulling many of our fellow human beings into dangerous complacency.

“The threat is here; the threat is now. “
