Much simpler to build refineries in Alberta and N. Dakota, than to pump the dirtiest fossil fuel thousands of miles. The pundits claim it would have minimal impact on the environment..........well, so did the Exxon Valdez, until it ran aground.  So does a tanker truck, until it tips over on a sharp curve.  So did the PG&E natural gas line in Palo Alto, until it exploded.

Because a lot of people have gone "soft", they are now forecasting that a 2 degree increase in temperature will mean that the majority of humans
can't cope or adapt without Government assistance and so will perish from heat stroke !

And if that doesn't kill them, the doom, gloom and fear mongering of the Climate change warriors will kill them !

LOL

They managed to survive while 27 % of   Earth was covered by ice sheets. 

That's because they had 73% of the earth to migrate to............that isn't going to happen in this day and age........I can imagine Mexico welcoming 300 million Americans, and god knows how many Canukians when the ice starts moving south.  Where are all the Europeans going to go, camping on the Sahara?

Oh, I have no doubt that many would survive, but they would no longer enjoy cell phones, SUV's, and supermarkets.........in fact, it would be back to the Bronze age.

Your knee-jerk responses to the potential for disaster would be hilarious if it wasn't so serious.

this one

How are the ice sheets going to move south ?

When everyone says we are having global warming ?

"Oh, I have no doubt that many would survive, but they would no longer enjoy cell phones, SUV's, and supermarkets.........

Why the Bronze age ?

It would do a few people, families good to be without those things and work out how to hunt, gather their own food.

I guess you haven't been paying attention........siggie posted charts that show we are on the upswing of a hotter-than-normal climate, that has, for the last half dozen times, topped out at an average global temperature of 75 degrees F., thus melting the polar ice and inundating much of the populated portion of the world.  Then, the next ice age hits, the glaciers move south, and the remains of civilization become migratory.

Bronze age because bronze can be worked at a much lower temperature than iron or steel

    Actually, I posted a chart showing no warming for nearly 20 years.......lol.

    It might get warming...... which happens during an interglacial period...... or it might get colder if it goes back to a glacial period.

    None of the above are in control of man.   It would also take global temps well over 75 degrees F to melt every Ice sheet on Earth.

   In the last 200 000 years, when the Climate changed..... so did man.  Did man cause those changes? Of course not.....

   To say so is just ridiculous........ 

 To say so is just ridiculous........ 

Of course 200,000 years ago man had no impact on climate........it's a different story now, why exacerbate climate change by pumping all that **bleep** into the atmosphere?  That is, unless you don't care that your progeny will have to deal with it.

It would also take global temps well over 75 degrees F to melt every Ice sheet on Earth.

You ever set an ice cube out in the middle of spring or fall?  While the temperatures at the poles might be somewhat cooler, the currents flowing towards them will have been heated by the tropics and temperate areas of earth.

    C02 is not **bleep**......it is the elixer of life........... without it, life would not exist.
