You're admitting orbital dynamics can overcome CO2?

Not at the rate we are producing it. Orbital dynamics can handle in about 100000 years what we have produced in about 250 years.

Do you see why the nutty little book made nutty little examples for the kiddies? You can't comprehend the real thing. If it can't be explained to you how can it be explained to kids? Although I'll grant that for an adult you're obtuse, so perhaps it is easier to explain to kids than to you.

Are you claiming human CO2 increases are putting off the next ice age? In effect, this is an argument AGW is good.

Yes, our CO2 is helping to delay an ice age that is many thousands of years away. It is doing even more than that. It will heat the earth up above any of the temps seen on the graph if we keep at it. There is a wise time and a foolish time to add 5 degrees. The foolish time is to tack on 5 degrees when you are already at a peak.

I've stated many times that I don't think the earth will see another 100000 year long ice age interglacial cycle, because the forcing from GG gives us a tool which is comparable in magnitude to the forcing from orbital dynamics which is the root cause of these cycles. Unless humans are truly stupid or nuke themselves or some other idiotic thing happens.


My opinion has long been that to the extent we might affect the weather (and that isn't that clear that we have, despite the propaganda to the contrary) the effect, if any, is more likely to be benign than negative.

Your opinion never has any chain of logic facts behind it either. Why not try once in awhile?
