Global warming has always been a theory, but abrupt climate change is a fact.

It happens at fairly regular intervals, and has throughout history. It has little or nothing to do with the activities of man.

We can be sure that another "mini ice age" is on the way, though it is impossible to forecast when it will arrive with any precision. Could be five years from now, could be 100 years from now.

Personally I look forward to life as a hunter-gatherer.

An "ice age" is a reaction to global warming.
As warming reaches a critical degree, atmospheric reactions occur which, along with destabilizing patterns of civilization, swing toward rapidly cooler temperatures.
Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the background of the subject between guffaws.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef will be bleached and dead in 50 years so say a panel of top scientists. What a tragedy. The reason behind this is global pollution and climate change. The pollution lobby which cotnrols the White House now wants you to believe pollution is good for America. They are liars.
