if one believes in global warming, IMO one would logically have to connect it to human activity. I never said or implied that I was among those believers.

Where do you stand on this?

Do you not believe that all the burning of coal and auto emissions have no effect on the climate or our environment?

The effects of human activity on the environment is akin to an ocean tanker heading toward a glacier. By the time you see it with your naked eyes, it may be too late.

But, then again for a lot of the born againers that would not matter. The end of life on earth is near and the true believers are going to heaven, anyhow.

kholt, Since there have been episodes of extreme heat, and ice ages, on earth since before humans were nothing more than primitive anthropoids, there could have been no correlation between the weather extremes, and human activity. Such extremes are just a cycle of weather conditions. It's just nature, and nothing more.

Thus, there is no logic in connecting either global warming, or ice ages, with human activity.
