So where was I, Oh yeah, starting from scratch.  The thing we need to ask ourselves is how do we preserve our society, the knowledge and our basic values?  How do we ensure that some semblance of civilization will survive?  Well lets explore just how long an ice age might last.  A very long , very very long time indeed.  Where would we live and wait it out?  How would we survive? What would we eat?  All very good questions.  We already have a seed depository to help recover in that area.  Only a very few people will survive to see the end of the next ice age. The survivors will crawl out of the ground or where ever they are able to hang on at. When the great thaw comes and we emerge into the daylight what will we find?  The ice age may last thousands of years, will humanity survive? I think it will, I think it has in the distant past and it can again, Just not sure how they did it.  For one generation maybe, for 10 generations? for 100 generations?  Maybe some divine intervention will be necessary, and maybe that too has happened before. well, those are my thoughts for today.
