Does global warming mean more or less snow?

I do understand. About every 100,000 years or so (called the Milankovitch cycles) the earth gets very warm and very cold. We are now in the "very warm" part called the Interglacial Warm Period. During the last "warm" period, global temps were about 14 degrees F warmer than they are now -- and it kept snowing back then (but less often) and the ice caps never disappeared (but got smaller). So you see, this is all natural as discussed in the Weather Club. What is un-natural are claims that man alters our climate, because there is no proof.
