A shutdown today would not lead to another ice age, but it could cause some serious regional cooling over Europe, among other impacts that we don't fully understand.

(Right) LGM regional cooling compared to LGM global cooling as simulated in PMIP - 2, with AOGCM results shown as red circles and EMIC (ECBilt - CLIO) results shown as blue circles.

In this paper, the model used is shown to match the spatial pattern of reconstructed temperature change during the «Little Ice Age» (which includes substantial regional cooling in regions such as Europe) as well as the smaller hemispheric - mean changes (the «Hockey Team» if you will)- mike]

The geoengineers can create large scale (highly toxic) regional cooling at the cost of a worsened overall warming.

It's important to clean up the air because of things like acid rain and respiratory diseases, but under certain conditions, particulate matters in the air can reflect some heat back into space and create a regional cooling effect.

There could still be regional cooling in places like in the north Atlantic, which could slowdown melting on Greenland, and give the world an opportunity to take advantage by putting the reduction of GHGs on the front burner asap to mitigate the effects of albedo reduction and sea level rise from that source, when the heat returns.

«These are tricky and slippery factors because there are places where feedback from fires is actually causing cooling, especially in places where the loss of forest has caused the snow to lie for longer leading to regional cooling.»

Furthermore, other human - induced changes on the atmosphere can lead to regional cooling.

Judah Cohen is the lead author of this new research: «In my mind there is no doubt that the globe is getting warmer and this will favour warmer temperatures in all seasons and in all locations; however, I do think that the increasing trend in snow cover has led to regional cooling, as discussed in the paper, and I see no reason why this won't continue into the near future.
