I think you are just repeating yourself.
Well, ice ages will come, ice ages will go.
And *unless* we change earth's orbit etc etc (terra forming), it will repeat.
You and the CO2 storage under your bed in your green grass hut,
will NEVER make any difference.
But if it gets really cold, or bleeding hot, and you have only windmills and solar cells...
Too bad for the children's children.
So.. forget about all the AGW stuff, build power plants.
And be prepared to accept that nature will change the face of the earth, where people live.
That is the reality, AGW dreams is just talk, sales talk at that.

That snippage was deceitful because what you snipped identified the
deceit you asked for.

Of course you pretend that the snip was made without your knowing what
you snipped, but we both know better than that, don't we?

Here; read a little Santayana:

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Hello,

but 96 % of all studied glaciers are shrinking. What is the use of
argumenting only with a very small minority?

Hello,

the snow falling on the glacier of Mt. Shasta to keep it growing couldnt
fall as rain somewhere else.
