But wait---there weren't any internal combustion engines 20,000 years ago. And now you're up to claiming 100% of scientists. Hey, I'm a scientist and I dissent, so there goes 100%.
As far as CO2 goes, atmospheric levels appear to have increased from 300 ppm to 400 ppm over the last century or so. Carbon emissions? Maybe, but there are many possible causes. After all, there have been times when Earth's CO2 in the atmosphere has exceeded 4,000 ppm, and some of those periods were ice ages.
So, once again, this ICE theme is just more useless noise, like a fly buzzing.

As far as glaciers go, those thousands that are growing LOGICALLY must have had a hard time GROWING when WORLDWIDE this July was the WARMEST in recorded temperatures. Those poor little glaciers must have had to try so very hard to grow in JULY. And now along comes August, which seems pretty warm to me. And I have the sweaty shirts to prove it.
