>> if the ice age were coming back now, you'd be complaining about that a hell of a lot louder than global warming.

That would very much depend on the pace of climate change. I don't particularly care so much about the global warming as I do about its rate. For example, Dashti Kbir desert in Iran has seen a 16 per cent fall per decade in rainfall during this same period; the Kalahari in South Africa a 12 per cent decline and the Atacama desert in Chile , an eight per cent drop.
