That is some seriously CONVOLUTED logic! The time SCALE of ICE AGES and natural warming periods involving hundreds of thousands of years has NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to do with the time scale that we are living in. The ICE age references are just a DISTRACTOR like people sometimes use in debates to confuse the main issue. In the case that we are talking about the time scale is from the Industrial Revolution to today when the WORLD POPULATION has increased rapidly and MAN has CAUSED the earth to heat up AKA Global Warming.
I for one, don't intend to be distracted or impressed by references to ICE AGES. In fact, I would put that down as purposeful disinformation designed to muddy the issue and prevent social awareness and change toward a cleaner environment as free as possible from earth poisoning GREENHOUSE GASES!
