give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime you destroy the oceans. in fact, according to a recent study published in the journal science, ocean life faces mass extinction.  

a team of scientists, in a groundbreaking analysis of data from hundreds of sources, have concluded that humans are on the verge of causing unprecedented damage to the oceans and the animals living in them.

“we may be sitting on a precipice of a major extinction event,” said douglas j. mccauley, an ecologist at the university of california, santa barbara, and an author of the new research. 

the study notes, for example, that bottom trawlers scraping large nets across the sea floor have already affected 20 million square miles of ocean, turning parts of the continental shelf to rubble.

Climate Change is acting much faster than many have expected. Global sea ice is in a free fall compared to all other years on record.

This one of those cases of the media hears about a science article that was published that seems to have a certain point of view but has been blown way out of proportion.

See these corresponding articles:

The ‘Mini Ice Age’ Hoopla Is A Giant Failure Of Science Communication

There Probably Won’t Be A “Mini Ice Age” In 15 Years

So no there isn’t going to be a sudden ice age in the next few decades. What the science actually says is that solar sunspots will decrease by 60%. The output of the sun is going to stay pretty constant. Her research didn’t even mention climate change. It was only focused on the activity of sun spots.

Even if this did lead to a mini-ice age (which it won’t because the science doesn’t suggest that), climate change wouldn’t stop. The Earth climate is so out of wack by human activities that it won’t stop even if somehow Earth entered an ice age, it would just slow down a little.
