Scientists Say Ice Age Now Forming
The fifth Ice Age*- is about to
begin in the world and may finally
bury much of the United States
under an ice sheet up to two miles
thick. Two noted authorities make
this prediction in an article in
the September issue of Harpers
magazine. r.
There is independent scientific
evidence indicating that the vio
lent blizzards which-will build up
the gigantic glaciers may begin
within 100 years.
In the fourth and mbs* recent
Ice Age, the southern boundary
of the great North American gla
cier extended from Long Island
across New York. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, 7:Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa,
and the Dakotas to the Missouri
River, with extensions: into the
western mountain country. It
created the Great Lakes,. the Hud
son #14 the St- Lawrence Rivers,
moved mountains*, crashed down
forests, and destroyed.whole spe*
ciea of life. That Ice Age ended
11:000 years ago.
Another startling theory scien
tists have come up with, in parti
cular two men, Maurice Ewing
and William Dona, —is that the
Arctic Ocean is warm enough to
be free of ice during Ice Ages.
Heretofore, it was believed that
the Arctic Ocean was even colder
and more completely frozen dur
ing Ice Ages than it is today.
These two scientists explain why
the world alternates between gla
cial and inter-glacial periods, how
the glaciers are formed and why
.they finally melt and recede to
the Arctic.
If all hinges on the fact that
the North Pole is in the middle of
the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic
Ocean is completely surrounded
by land except for a shallow “sill”
between Norway and Greenland
opening into the Atlantic, and the
insignificant Bering Strait. If the

cold waters of the Arctic inter
changed freely over this sill with
the warm Atlantic water, the Arc
tic Ocean would not freeze over.
It would be open waterwhich*
would evaporate, from clouds, and
fall as snow over the colder land
—too much snow to melt in the
short Arctic summer. When the
rate at which snow accumulates
exceeds the rate at which it melts,
glaciers grow.
The Atlantic Ocean according
to these scientists, is rising, and
and more and more warm water
pours under the Arctic ice sheet.
The open water thus paused, the
resultant snow, results in the
forming of glaciers which will
augur in the Ice Age.
