If you look back in time, in the desert south west, There have been thriving Indian communities that have just vanished. Ancient Pueblo peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Well just vanished isn't quiet accurate. Places were abandoned. Cultures grew and receded. That was in part driven by climate change. That the sea lions are currently having a hard time of it is nothing new. A semiarid climate isn't for the faint of hart. In my older brother's lifetime the Great Salt Lake has gone from its historic low to its historic high and back again. Two decades of dry, two decades of wet, and two decades of dry again. Give or take a bit.
It has been doing this for millennia.
Deal with it.
On a longer time scale we can choose between warming it up or letting it cool off. The little ice age is what we had before AGW, should we undo AGW and go back to it? Of the two choices, global warming or global cooling, warmer is better.
Winter maximum Arctic sea ice is on track to hit a record low since satellite records began in 1979. Not good, as there is evidence that disappearing sea ice can effect weather patterns in the northern hemisphere.

The warming isn't happening on a longer time scale, it's happening on a very short one.
The whole reason that AGW is such a serious issue is because it is happening so quickly.
We can't undo AGW unless you want to detonate a lot of nuclear weapons, but that would also be only a short term solution and not a very safe one.
Without the CO2 emissions the world would only be very slightly cooler than the early 20th century instead of warmer than practically any time in the past 10,000 years.
We've had this debate before and you don't seem to realize that glaciation is NOT an immediate threat.

The next glaciation period is expected in 7,000 to 10,000 years....To put this in human perspective, man first put down his stone tools about 5,300 years ago with the beginning of the early bronze age in 3,300 BC.

The ice ages tend to last about 100,000 years. Talk about a recycling event for the Earth. All signs of our existence in almost the entire North American Continent would be wiped out by the time those glaciers retreat.
Also, I've read that we are due and some say overdue for an ice age. It's been about 12,000 years since the last one and the pattern is 10,000 years of warmth and 100,000 years of ice.

Yeah, and given the glaciers would take thousands of years to reach us, there would be absolutely nothing that we could to do to stop it. I mean, how could we possibly think of a solution to such rapid shifts in the climate?
The climate of the Earth cools and heats throughout history. What do you think happened to the Ice Age? Do you think man heated up the Earth and ended it?

It would take a thousand of those years before liberals admitted they were wrong about global warming.
It got a bit warm today. Tonight it is cooler. I have central air and heat so it is no big dippy doo either way.

Give it up.
I have been saying that all throughout the inane screechings of the warmers.
Logic fails them.
