“If it’s a choice between global warming and ice ages, I’d hope the global warming believers are right.”

Me too, unfortunately the chance of the warmists being right is about equal to the chance that you really can keep your insurance plan. It’s awful being right when you would be so much better off if you were wrong.
I have a solution...
BURN FOSSIL FUELS!!!!
Fossil fuels is God’s thermometer.
I have a libinlaw that REFUSES to believe that the global avg temperature has been flat for 18 years and that the polar ice caps are actually growing, not melting.
Absolutely refuses.
I asked “how many sources of this fact would it take to prove it to you?”
The answer was “one good one” (see the “No True Scotsman” logic fallacy for how that would transpire).
Out of curiosity, I spent a bit of time looking.
And, out of curiosity, I looked at an article in the LAT.
I saw then that it was futile to even try. It’s a religion.
The gist of the LAT article was that the polar caps were increasing, and that it would take some more research to determine why this was happening _SINCE_ the earth was undergoing global warming.
GW is a GIVEN to them, it’s not a conclusion based on evidence. It’s a STARTING POINT.
Lol. Ain't that the truth.
