Is The Elite Ice Age Conspiracy!: 2025 – 2030 True?
Blocking sunlight and drastically reducing CO2 levels could create a perfect storm for global cooling. During the last Ice Age, CO2 levels hovered around 180-200 parts per million (ppm), and temperatures were several degrees cooler than today. Modern CO2 levels are around 420 ppm, but some scientists warn that dropping below 200 ppm could trigger ecological collapse. Plants, especially C3 plants like trees and most crops, struggle to survive below 150-200 ppm, threatening food chains and oxygen production. Pair this with geoengineering schemes to dim the sun, and the result could mimic or exceed Ice Age conditions.
