Global Warming and Ice Ages The climate changes that are currently taking place on earth are both dramatic and complex: Overall global warming can actually lead to colder weather in some parts of the world to understand why this can happen we can picture earth’s climate as a person carrying a large stack of dinner plates. If the person trips then the stack of plates begins to sway first one way and then another, with some in the end probably falling in one direction while most fall in another direction. The initial “trip” in this case is the overall warming of the planet’s atmosphere and the dishes crashing in all directions are the effects of that warming, which include overall warming (most of the dishes falling to one side) with colder weather in some places (those dishes that fall in the opposite direction. Thus it is possible that the current global warming might actually produce a new ice age in some regions.
