Global Warming: Can't Resist Commenting on This
New York Times this morning on global warming:
When the Earth’s slow cyclic tilting and wobbling along its eccentric orbital path once again leads to a major cooling period some 50,000 years from now, enough of our heat-trapping carbon emissions will still remain in the atmosphere to warm the planet just enough to weaken that chill. In other words, our impacts on global climate are so profound that we will have canceled the next ice age.
They think this is a bad thing? Considering the next ice age would wipe out tens of millions of people through starvation, 'canceling the next ice age' is a great thing!!
P.S. I believe the claim is questionable science.
