Nicely reasoned essay. I would add that glaciers are naturally occurring averagers of temperatures. Their near-universal retreat says something.

Thank you so much! And of course you are correct!

Damn Kissy-fest. What the hell is an “averager” of temperature, and what the hell does the “near-universal retreat” of glaciers mean? If they’re retreating now, it means they had to advance at some time in the past. Global Cooling? Guess what! The natural cycles of the earth’s climate occur in periods far longer than one or two generations…oh, f*ck it.
