Well in my opinion. What caused little ice age is shutdown of THC

global warming? does our world has got a time till it is obliterated?

Sorry. You're very wrong. It's not regional warming. It's a result of CO2 increasing in the atmosphere to a level never seen in the history of Homosapiens that increases the heat trapped in the atmosphere. Regional variations may mitigate the warming in certain areas (like W Europe which will cool in the short term cause of a slower Gulf Stream), but it is not stopping.And one cold winter means nothing. Climate Change is about extremes...both hot and cold. 2007 (a La Nina year) supports this.

In Press Release from British Antarctic Survey Website they are saying: "It is another identifiable impact of climate change on the Antarctic environment."You will find links in description of this video.

Now hold on a minute, is it GLOBAL warming or is it REGIONAL warming?? The wilkins ice shelf began disintergrating in 1998 (hottest year in last 100) every year since has been cooling with 2007 being the coolest in 100yrs. This is a regional event, not demonstrated on the rest of the Antarctic continent which has shown no sign of warming at all.

Scientist, who wrote an article about that, says it contributes "to thinning and speeding up of the Pine Island glacier, which passes nearby...", but he "doubted that it could be affecting other glaciers in western Antarctica, which have also thinned in recent years. Most glaciologists, including Vaughan, say that warmer ocean water is the primary cause of thinning."It's from article in Herald Tribune "Antarctic volcanoes identified as a possible culprit in glacier melting".

I found that correlation between solar activity and global temperatures ended around 1975. At that point, temperatures started rising while solar activity stayed level.

There just happens to be a massive volcano under the western Antarctic where this is happening, the official sources claim this is regional warming which might have something to do with the MASSIVE VOLCANO under this area? and the EARTHQUAKES that are reported in the region??

i saw a documentary on histrory channel on de relation between sunspots n global warming. type little ice age on wikipedia. it mention that there was low sun activity between 16th and 17th century.
