These ice-ages you talk about were localized and not global. (Is that what you're talking about?) Not only that, the warming trend has been shown to be global and unlike any "cycle" we've ever seen. You guys need to get over your political biases. If you don't want to give a fuck, just don't give a fuck, but don't lie to yourselves with ridiculous denial.

I came across the link on FB. Made me think of you guys.
I am referring to Eccentricity (http://www.indiana.edu/~geol105/imag...d-the-ice-ages) which is defined as the change in the degree of ellipticalness of the earths orbit around the sun. It greatly affects glaciation, is global and has a period of 100,000 years or so. I never denied anything about the climate one way or the other with regard to man's influence on it, but you like to use strawmen. I just wrote that in the longer term, these cycles will overcome man's influence if there has been one. Long term cycles will also affect climate to the warm side of the spectrum as well and would be similar to what happened during the Eocene era (very warm period in earth's climate history). Man may or may not be around when these heavier factors get involved in impacting the climate.
So something on a 100,000 year period is the important stuff, yet you tell me I like to use strawmen? okey dokey.

You are right though, you didn't deny man-made global warming. You found some other psychological trick to tell yourself you're on the right side of the debate.

I am not going to go study this, but common sense tells me you are wrong. Global warming will continue until we've basically burned up all the oil/gas we can pull out of the Earth. Then there are other sources of the greenhouse gasses. Not sure why you think that something that apparently has happened many times over the course of Earth based life will not be dwarved by what we're doing currently.
