How do you tell?

In chaos theory, now called complexity science, when
a system is driven far from equilibrium and to the edge.
To it's breaking point. Something rather unique happens.
The system behavior bifurcates into two, and only two
pre-images.

These two pre-images, static and chaotic, display the
only two likely sustainable futures for that system.
And in advance so we all can see. This remarkable
effect, aside from it's obvious uses in such things as
stock trading, can also help with this subject.

When near the breaking point a system will begin to
display it's equal and opposite extremes in possibility.
Since this problem involves global temp, then the opposite
extremes are of course hot and cold.

If we should see such bifurcations of our biosphere into
cold/static and hot/chaotic extremes, we should begin
to worry ..a whole bunch!


Alarm over dramatic weakening of Gulf Stream

· Slowing of current by a third in 12 years could bring more extreme weather
· Temperatures in Britain likely to drop by one degree in next decade

The melting of the ice caps may cause Europe to quickly chill/freeze/static
The disruption of the Atlantic currents are causing our part
of the world to quickly warm and become stormy/chaotic.


Huh! Gee! I wonder what that means~
