You know what'd be ironic : if the man-made greenhouse gases were
actually *saving* us from entering another ice-age, and all the green
measures reduced them sufficiently that we plunge into one.

i think that is both possible and should be a real consideration....

i have visions from god that we'll clean the place up and then forget
the cure in a few hundred years when conditions return to
'normal'
and have to invent co2 producers, that look a bit like battersea
power station....but we'll have to site them far away from
people....
if there's anywhere left by then

Having billions of tons of ice ploughing our northern cities into the
ground, would be infinitely worse than having to raise sea-defences, or
even moving to higher ground!
