I don't know about you, but we could do with a bit of relief.

Ice core studies going back 600k years indicate clearly that warming trends such as we have been experiencing are always followed by temperature collapse resulting in extended ice ages.

We should stop polluting the environment anyway, just because it's a nasty and dangerous habit. But it's unlikely anything we do (or are doing) will change the cycles we've been seeing for the last 600k years.

There's a very good chance that we're going to see a warming trend over the next few hundred years, followed by a sharp and protracted decline in global temperatures.

Exactly. The earth has always had cycles of warming and cooling, and will continue to do so, no matter what humans do.

The Ice Core graph shows a very unusual increase in CO2 levels over the last 100 years, and this is almost certainly associated with human activity (and this is what most "Global Warming" people are worried about).

However, above and beyond that, the graph also shows a very distinct pattern which has nothing whatsoever to do with human activity. We are living in a natural warm spike which has been developing over the last 10,000 years. And every single warm spike before this one has been followed by a dramatic and protracted decrease in global temperatures.

It seems unlikely that any amount of CO2 is going to cancel out whatever natural force (probably thermohaline) which triggers a natural temperature crash. If anything, adding CO2 to the atmosphere is probably going to push us over the "ice age" precipice even faster.

The global forces which drive the pattern below will assert themselves regardless of how much CO2 we add to the atmosphere.

I think God just allows people to make themselves look stupid through their choices. Like the choice to tie this thread to a political party for instance.

The de-MoKKKer-RATS have tied this issue to themselves. They're willing to try anything in their relentless drive for power and the idea of claiming that democracy has to be jettisoned because we're at the eleventh hour and fifty-ninth minute of a man-made ecological holocaust had to appeal to them.
