Increased CO2 Emissions Will Delay Next Ice Age ( And that is a good thing!)

According to new research to be published in Nature Geoscience  (embargoed until 1800 GMT/10AM PST, Sunday 8 January 2012), the next ice age could set in any time
this millennium where it not for increases in anthropogenic CO2 emissions that are preventing such a global disaster from occurring.

The new research confirms the theory developed by the late Sir Fred Hoyle and Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe in the 1990s that without increased levels of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere ‘the drift into new ice-age conditions would be inevitable.’

Hoyle and Wickramasinghe published their controversial idea in CCNet in July 1999:

CCNet-ESSAY: ON THE CAUSE OF ICE-AGES

By Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe

[...] The problem for the present swollen human species is of a drift back into an ice-age, not away from an ice-age. Manifestly, we need all the greenhouse we can get, even to the extent of the British Isles becoming good for the growing of vines….

The renewal of ice-age conditions would render a large fraction of the world’s major food-growing areas inoperable, and so would inevitably lead to the extinction of most of the present human population. Since bolide impacts cannot be called up to order, we must look to a sustained greenhouse effect to maintain the present advantageous world climate. This implies the ability to inject effective greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the opposite of what environmentalists are erroneously advocating. …

Another mini ice age may soon be in the start up process, but the parts of the article that claim we need all the CO2 we can get to offset it is just more bunk, based on what we have read by so many people who are careful, and indicate the CO2 positive forcing are simply not capable of any significant change in the lower troposphere. No one has yet proven the 33 C, number to be far off the true condition.

Thanks Ernest_at_the_Beach. A ping to the list, because this pertains to Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe.
