On the other hand, they may not. It’s gotta be one or the other.
Whoo hoo! It’s BBQ time!

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
And this is a bad thing, why? As I recall, they had glaciers down in Texas in the last Ice Age.
And we all know that those models are completely, 100% accurate, that have taken ALL factors in to account, right Doc?
Mathematical Model = just something me and boys came up with, over a few cold ones.
But just so ya feel good, we bought it.
New evidence suggests that concentrations of CO2 started rising about 8,000 years ago, even though natural trends indicate they should have been dropping. Some 3,000 years later the same thing happened to methane, another heat-trapping gas. The consequences of these surprising rises have been profound. Without them, current temperatures in northern parts of North America and Europe would be cooler by three to four degrees Celsius—enough to make agriculture difficult. In addition, an incipient ice age—marked by the appearance of small ice caps—would probably have begun several thousand years ago in parts of northeastern Canada. Instead the earth’s climate has remained relatively warm and stable in recent millennia.

Guess I won’t be needing all this firewood I have stashed away.
I should have added in Post #9 that this purported warming began with agriculture and changes in land use.
The last con job hasn’t gotten the job done, lets give this one a try!

Ice age is bad isn’t it?
Survey says.... what do the penguins think about it?
Don’t bother me none. I don’t like cold weather anyway. I’ll burn less firewood.
How do you factor humans with advancing technology in a math formula? Because of us there will never be another ice age or hot age, no large meteors will ever hit, and in a few billion years we'll figure out how to pipe hydrogen to the Sun to keep it running. That's so when our descendants return to the solar system on vacation Earth will have nice weather, and even reanimated Dodo birds and dinosaurs to watch.
Science Daily my eye!
Real science shows that CO2 levels are a function of rising temperatures, there for climate drives C02 and not visa versa
