Last Ice Age happened in ONE year
| Quote From Source: | The last ice age 13,000 years ago took hold in just one year, more than ten times quicker than previously believed, scientists have warned.
Cold, stormy conditions caused by an abrupt shift in atmospheric circulation froze the continent almost instantly during the Younger Dryas less than 13,000 years ago – a very recent period on a geological scale.
The new findings will add to fears of a serious risk of this happening again in the UK and western Europe – and soon.

San Diego will get too cold.
"The rain it raineth every day, and every night also -- week in and week out, from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, there is nothing but rain, rain, rain, 'The windows of heaven are opened up.' Pluvius, grieved at some earth-giving wrong, weeps as if he never would dry up." - Overland Press (Olympia, WA), December 1861 |

In a full on I.A. yeah, the seas will retreat quite a bit too, and we'll (re)discover several ancient cities... but anyway.
I'm *not* expecting a return to Snowball Earth, and WTF, we're not cabable of preparing for that anyway.
