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.

Just looked up the %s for agreement of scientists about Global Warming. nationalacademies.org says that 97% agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. The Cornell Chronicle says that 99.9 % of studies agree.......humans cause Climate Change. NASA says 97 %.
