And you are an expert on climate science? Do you realize that what you just said just agreed completely with the article I posted? Increased global temperatures means increased water precipitated back onto the poles, which expands the ice caps, regulating global temperatures. Thanks Del. You made that SCIENTIST's point very well.

Ice core samples indicate that past warming occured BEFORE rise in CO2 levels. And compared to previous warm periods, we are in the midst of a CO2 DROUGHT.

And what, exactly is the threat of global warming, in any case? Rising sea levels? Wrong. Increased temperatures do not correspond to increased sea levels, just increased water in the water cycle, to be deposited eventually back at the poles. Famine and disease? Any elementary school kid can tell you plants breath CO2. When the dinosaurs roamed the Earth, CO2 levels were monstrous, practically the whole planet was a greenhouse. Health scientists have debunked the whole disease thing, heat does not equal disease. Lack of sanitation equals disease.

Global warming is probable. It is also probable, even certain, that the Earth will, as it has again and again in the past, COOL. Its a natural process, which we contribute only in the most insignificant way.
