The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years. 
Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations all demonstrate a regular cyclic pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each last about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years.

    on the other hand, when has Pravda been considered a reliable source? Oh, wait... AP, NYT, Wash Post, Time, Newsweek...I guess it is at the same level of credibility

    The earth can’t enter an ice age! It doesn’t fit into the socialist global warming agenda!

    What's ironic, is that Pravda is right, and that a former Vice-President of the United States is wrong!

    Don't worry they'll grab all the money they can and be hysterical about that. Right now they have the sheeple convinced that MAN is causing global warming. Heck some women are having abortions to reduce their carbon footprints - they love abortions!

    It's Bush's fault. Women, children and minorities will be hardest hit. 
 Time to crank up those SUVs and coal fired power plants.

    What do you suppose really goes through algores mind when he hears this stuff? Great question. I'm impressed that he was able to convince so many to buy into the global warming thing, literally buy into it. Will this be the end of the carbon credit market?

    Do you suppose he really believes his own globull warming BS or does he know it is BS? Is he chuckling all the way to the bank or is he enraged that his theory is being debunked?
