I'll just bump this once in case anyone else wants to see it.

So Stephen Hawking believes in greenhouse gas induced global warming? And here I thought that was just pinko propaganda!

Hey, global warming might be saving us from even worse death at the hand of the long long overdue ice age that we're probably staving off.

Our ancestors survived the last ice age. They happen at a pace that we can adjust to.

The jury is still out on global warming.

Actually there is significant evidence that says global warming can/has/will trigger an ice age.

The theory behind "The Day After Tomorrow" was essentially correct... just way overblown.

If the North Atlantic Current is slowed/stalled by fresh water melting off of the ice caps, the northern hemisphere would likely see an ice age.

Don't worry it's no problem. Well it isn't a big enough problem for me to give up my HDTV and SUV.

##### life on Earth.
