“As to preventing another ice age, well duh.. We certainly are not heading for one in the near future now are we?
“

I don’t know. Let’s look it up.
We are in an interglacial period.
New research suggests that Ice Ages may not start again for many millenia.
But there is NO guarantee of that.

“Earth’s climate and the biosphere have been in constant flux, dominated by ice ages and glaciers for the past several million years. We are currently enjoying a temporary reprieve from the deep freeze.

Approximately every 100,000 years Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. These warm periods, called interglacial periods, appear to last approximately 15,000 to 20,000 years before regressing back to a cold ice age climate. At year 18,000 and counting our current interglacial vacation from the Ice Age is much nearer its end than its beginning. “

So I copied and pasted that. IS it wrong ? is it false ?

Mr JA (Congrats on the initials LOL)
You read in more than I write.
And knowing the reaction to even a syllable of “dissent” I have
made a point of my personal quest for energy efficiency.
But it is apparent that zealots want more. Being as we are still well within habitable ranges and dong what we can, I am getting tired of being bludgeoned and threatened.
