Naked science - Big Freeze

As odd as sounds, global warming may be rushing the planet into the next ice-age. The Big Freeze could come with no warning, resulting in a massive extinction of species and changing life on Earth. Is the next cold snap nearer than we think?

Imagine our world in the not-too-distant future? In parts of the northern hemisphere, the temperature plummets to -9¯F. At 13 below, public transportation fails. Those caught outside freeze to death. Buildings collapse under the weight of snow and ice. The power goes out, society collapses, and anarchy takes its place. Could this be a vision of our future? Naked Science examines what may cause temperatures to plummet and how this could spell disaster for our planet.
