Fat chance....The next ice age will come when it wants to.
I am sick of these faux and pseudo climate scientist.

Climate change sucks.

[grey_whiskers]

Cheers!

I somewhat doubt that all the CO2 we could possibly create would keep the next ice age from happening. But it is nice to see someone talking about the other side of the climate coin re CO2 for a change. Does anyone really think that 90,000 years of bitter cold and constant raging winds is going to be a good thing?

[pallis]

I seriously doubt it.

It’ll delay it by about, oh, a day at most.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

We’ve been in an ice age for 3 million years or so.

What’s coming is the next glaciation.

And the trivial amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is not going to delay it.

[Born to Conserve]

Since there seems to be some confusion about all this, I’ll explain it for all you scientists and activists.

It’s going to get really cold. There will be really cool things to find on the beaches as the oceans recede. We’ll all be dead of old age by then, and so will be our grandchildren and theirs.

Oh, and if you believe we didn’t land on the moon, that the WTC was imploded, or that homeopathy works, take some Thorazine.

One thing liberals can all agree on: We’re doomed!!!!

DOOMAGE!

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

Well, perhaps they'll delay the next period of glaciation in the current ice age.

[aruanan]

The weird thing is that virtually all the effects of CO2 concentration on temperature is accomplished over the first 80-100ppm, after that it's an increasingly small effect with increasingly larger amounts of CO2. As far as its correlation with temperature change goes, four times between 60 to 20 thousand years before present, it's bumped up between 600-1200 years after an increase in warmth. But temperature can crash abruptly in the midst of higher atmospheric CO2 which then usually takes much longer to decrease afterwards. The general trend over the past 175 million years has been to an increasingly poor CO2 concentration. And over the last 500 million years, the three periods with highest atmospheric CO2 were relatively cool. Over the same 500 million years the lag between temperature increase and CO2 increase ranges between 1000-5000 years.

Since bolide impacts cannot be called up to order

Actually, they can. Our present technology is adequate to allow us to "steer" comets to impact with the earth.

Major possible negative side-effects, of course, depending on where the comet impacts.

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