That was different. That was caused by a volcano and disappeared after about 3-5 years. What WinSmith and I are talking about are more like El Ninos with much longer cycles (hundreds or thousands of years).

Your certainty of survival is a bit optimistic, but possibly true if you don't mind going back to population levels of a few million planet-wide. You sure you and your kin are going to be in the right place?

Global warming is not a "media induced crisis", except in the eyes of random conservative propagandists. There is real science there, and real reasons to expect things to behave badly. If you want to learn some science beyond what's allowable on the WSJ editorial page, you might want to look at the data on historical atmospheric CO2 concentrations versus current levels, and how the historical levels correlate with other climate measures.
