Well I think it is better to say “effect” than “problem”; perhaps we are staving off the next ice age, and perhaps temporarily at that.

I have never seen a scientific argument that the Earth has gotten out of its recent (geological) condition of repeating ice ages.

Which maybe were brought on by having too much sequestered carbon.


This is an interesting speculation. We’re in an interglacial period now. Will the earth experience another period of glaciation, or leave glaciation all together? No one really knows.

The politicians are (as usual) asking the wrong question. They’re asking “how do we stop global warming?” The real question IMO is how will human civilization cope with climate change. It’s either going to be rising seas or glaciers.
