These ice ages and warming periods lasted for millions of years at a time....how can you base the current global trend on humans based on the last 100 years of research...lol. You are the dumbest smart person on these boards.

You are the dumbest smart person on these boards. | You crack me up. Ever heard of the Northwest Passage? People have been looking for an ice free pole for millenia.
The truth is it has probably been tens of thousands of years since the pole was ice free. And we have melted it in 50 years.
We also caused a hole in the ozone, but no one denies that since it does not involve oil and coal companies. |

Continue to ignore the facts dude, and continue to be "cracked up" because it really shows...
The search for the Northwest passage started in 1400s genius...which still isn't that long ago compared to the frickin billions of years the earth has been around. The Vikings first used a form of it to trade with the Inuit tribes. Then the colonial powers attempted to find a route. It wasn't successfully navigated until the early 1900s... This still proves nothing on your side. Face it, you can't prove GW is caused by humans...and you can't prove it's CO2
