Ice ages are caused by the axial tilt that the earth experiences over periods of time. How can you mention ice ages without mentioning this tilt, also called "Milankovitch cycles".
Google it.
The ice ages talking point is one of the easiest to refute.
The University of Virginia has written the following:
There is reasonably good geophysical evidence for a correlation between such astronomical changes and the climate on Earth, particularly the ice ages. This is known as the "Milankovitch Effect."

Thanks, another good point.

There are *so* many other variables that their models don't take into account, it's rather laughable to consider their models anywhere near complete.

”They(people like me) fail to admit that the axis of the earth is an obvious cause of ice ages”

Obviously, I haven’t got that memo yet. /s


”The tilts that cause glacial ages occured in immensly long periods of time. so the warming cannot be attributed to the Milankovitch effect, of course, or to solar output. We are left with Greenhouse emmissions.”

You are omitting hundreds if not thousands of other possibilities in your ‘process of elimination.’


”Google it”

We have an unofficial ban of Google at Freerepublic.
