so 1 degree over 50 years is a lot. The earth would be resonable to start heating if we where in an Ice age...but even if we were instead for the 26,000 years for the climate change with this rate it would occur in 2,500 year.
I don't support that heat change will cause Ice age as many scientists do, but there are certainly going to be consequences
