Maybe Global Warming is Good?

Present Climate

Comparing the present Earth to the picture below of the Earth at the the end of the last ice age, the question that should be asked in the global warming debate, is which Earth do you prefer? The Earth of 18,000 years ago was dominantly desert and glacial ice with small forested areas. The present Earth seems more suitable for our civilization and most other life forms. The global temperature curves for the last 400,000 years show that we are hanging precipitously near the end of a short interglacial epic. A fall in Earth's temperature and continued glaciation in the future is as good a scientific prediction, as the theory that the sun will continue to shine for billions of years in the future. That mankind's production of CO2 could alter this future is highly unlikely. The facts simply do not support this contention. If we could, the result would be more green on the map above and not less. Once again- which would you prefer? A constant climate is not a real option, as amply demonstrated by geologic history.
