Aren't we overdue for an ice age? I'm pretty sure we are.
The ultimate consequence of an ice age is global starvation. A few places in S. America would still be able to grow food, but not enough to feed billions of people. I say bring it on! The world doesn't need billions and billions of people.
Not quite yet..... No glacial inception is projected to occur at the current atmospheric CO2 concentrations of 390 ppmv. Indeed, model experiments suggest that in the current orbital configuration—which is characterized by a weak minimum in summer insolation—glacial inception would require CO2 concentrations below preindustrial levels of 280 ppmv.
A better title, and summary of the entire issue would be:
"Scientists still have no cause or understanding of our variably cyclical global climate".
That is the actual truth of the matter.
Anyone claiming there's a measurable human caused component is being dishonest, because they can't explain OR account for natural variability with its many concurrent cycles of varying frequency.
What you are actually saying here is that YOU don't understand the science.
Just looked at the forecast, Friday we have a HIGH of 53 degrees. That's about 20 degrees below normal, same we've had around here for the last 5 years. Cool and below normal.

Still haven't figured out the difference between weather and climate have you?
i figured after this cool summer , some of these people would back off their theory some. lol I think their ego is too wrapped up in it now.
It depends on where you are, global warming isn't just that it is cool where you are right now, so it must not be warming.
