Immins.org forum participants write off the ice age with false objections.

Link and Maxwatt responded to my post at Imminst/cryonics on the coming ice age and reanimation. [+] They raise several points but I don't seem to be able to post a response at Imminst.org even though I'm logged in. I'll try again and point them to my discussion forum where I'll attack their objections in outline format.

I'm now registered with Imminst/Longecity Cryonics forum!


Immortality Institute changed it's name to Longecity to rhyme with longevity it seems.

I've been banned from NewCryonet, and several cryonics bloggers have gone into a deletion "rage" over my pointing to the ice age and its conflict with cryo reanimation scenarios. Slow but surely, the entire idea of the coming ice age is being "locked out" of the entire cryonics dicussion. One very big forum about cryonics has been the Imminst.org cryonics forum where famous cryonicist Brian Wowk, originally from Winnipeg, and now working for Saul Kent in the 21st Century Medicine lab that focuses on cryobiology (while keeping cryonics applications under the radar), hangs out.

A few years ago, I began posting to that forum about Owada's magnetic freezing of food and it's potential in cryonics. Entire posts on that were moved from the main forum to a side area somewhere for reasons that were not reasonable in my estimation. Ultimately they banned me. Since then, the format and name has changed but the people and the temperament are expected to be the same as I introduce the ice age problem in cryonics reanimation. Here is the first attempt....

Imminst.org (Longecity) at least open to considering near term ice age temps.

What earth might look like BEFORE cryonics reanimation or nanotech can
rescue us from cryopreservation. Oops. Didn't think of that!


[133 results] for "ice age" come up on a search at Longevity City (used to be Immortality Institute) where Brian Wowk hangs out online. This is promising but I have not explored the hits yet. Here's one quote from one post that shows that the people in Imminst.org (Longecity) are more respectful of the potential problem of a near term plunge into ice age temperatures, unlike the group of 91 people in NewCryonet, 26 of whom voted on whether to allow ice age discussion and only 9 of those voting yes.

So, I came home and turned on the Science Channel. They looked at the history of the Earth's climate. There have been wide swings in the temperature in the past, especially in the distant past.

They said the Earth was kept stable by the flow of warm water in a certain current. Once that stopped, they argued that the Earth could enter a New Ice Age within ten years. So, take you pick. There are all kinds of opinions. I really don'[t know what to believe. I tend to think it will all happen so slowly we will hardly notice.
