I have explained at least a dozen times that we have been in an ice age for 4+ million years with cyclical periods of glaciation and thaws (and therefore periods of warming and cooling). We have been through both the warming and cooling limbs of this cycle at least 2 dozen times in that period and 2 things are true-----
1) we are still here
2) It HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUV'S OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY OF MAN
Our kids and grandkids?????? Not likely, although our descendants in about 15,000 years will live at the peak of the warming cycle and our coastal cities will be under 100 feet of water. But don't break out the sunscreen and swim trunks just yet, because 30,000 years after that, NY City will again be under 2 miles of ice.
But, if anyone doesn't understand the simple science behind paleoclimatology, then by all means let's spend 100 trillion dollars over the next 40 years to combat "global warming" What a joke!
PS: This is not to denigrate solar power---it is a good thing and there are plenty of reasons to utilize it. However "global warming" is NOT one of them

Scientific Consensus | Facts – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
the above link cites the following organizations as supporting the claim that the climate is warming, and that human activities are a major, if not THE major drivers:
American Association for the Advancement of Science
American Chemical Society
American Geophysical Union
American Meteorological Society
American Physical (Physics) Society
The Geological Society of America
So what is it that makes you so sure your science is more accurate and reliable than the science of these organizations ?
