We are at the terminal point of the warm interglacial period, and thenext glacial age may anytime start. The first step of the global cooling ispredicted by the author to come in 2035, when the food production willsurely decrease. The population is expanding and the shortage of foodand drain of natural resources result in the limits to the growth of thehuman society. It was predicted by the Rome Club (1972) that The Limitsto Growth would come in 2020. All these conditions together corroborateto bring a severe crisis to human beings in near future. If the earth wouldbe meeting warming in near future as predicted by IPCC, then the crisiswould be mild.However, it is not the case. The atmospheric temperature of the earthwill surely become cold, because most of major controlling factors of theatmospheric temperature, i.e., solar activity, cosmic rays, and geomagnetismare changing in a way to the cooling. The effect of carbon dioxide gas onlycannot be too much evaluated. The effort of decreasing carbon dioxidegas is important in the sustainability of our limited resources, however, wehave to seriously consider the measures for the approaching crisis of globalcooling and the limits to growth.
