You're desperately twisting aren't you.  It's funny.

Not really, no. Just pointing out an interesting side effect of global warming. If it averts an ice age it's actually quite beneficial.

Well, yes, most versions of the famous Hockey Stick show a gradual decline in the direction of an Ice Age, before the sudden dramatic uptick at the end of the record.  And it's still a defendable hypothesis (not yet a consensus) that the Little Ice Age might possibly have turned into a full-blown glaciation if it hadn't been for anthropogenic forcings - the idea that these go back much further than previously thought (due to deforestation and rice paddies) is certainly gaining traction.

 

However, it doesn't follow from this that present levels of climate change are a good thing.  You'll have heard of the phrase "out of the frying pan, into the fire".

 

By the way, I've just twigged that the Hockey Stick is in fact an ice hockey stick!  I'd always assumed it was a (field) hockey stick, and wondered why it didn't look much like one ...

We'll both be a longtime dead before humanity knows either way.

Pay attention.

 

"According to research published in Nature Geoscience, human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) will defer the next ice age. Researchers used data on Earth's orbit to find the historical warm interglacial period that looks most like the current one and from this have predicted that the next ice age would usually begin within 1,500 years. They go on to say that emissions have been so high that it will not."

So you believe the figures now then, do you believe the figures when they say its caused by mankind?

'Mankind'...Creating something 'Mother Nature' is an Expert at.

 

Where did 'Mankind' get the materials from to create the so called 'Mankind' climate change?

 

He got them from beneath the ground. From where they have been bubbling and toiling.

 

Mother Nature can create far worse 'Climate change'than mankind can in the blink of an eye.

 

Nothing 'Mankind' does on planet earth will scratch the surface of what Nature is capable of.

Compared to 'Mankind'...Our planet is doing great.
The earth has been here 4.5 BILLION years...We've been here what?..200 thousand years give or take?
Think about that...200 thousand years versus 4.5 Billion years.
You have the conceit to some how think that were a threat?
The Earth has been through a lot worse than 'Us'.
What we do ain't  going to bother the Earth.

Yes, thats right.  The stored carbon in the form of oil and coal, when the carbon is released back into the Earths atmosphere it will increase the Earths temperature.

The Earth will still be here after climate change, but it's unlikely that there will be 7.5 billion people.

Each of those 7.5 billion will eat some meat and veg, that is a lot of food; the farms on the planet are replacing the once widespread forests.
