we have summer then winter, this take what we call 1 year. let say that the ice age was winter and we are now heading into summer (the hot ages). so all this crap about global warming is pointless because it is going to happen anyway. what do you think?

Very true, in any case, some effects of so-called global warming and carbon emmissions are actually beneficial. We very rarely hear about this aspect because the vested interests and spendthrift governments looking to bring in new taxes, would rather have us believe that it will be an absolute disaster for the world.
For example, Carbon dioxide emmisions are claimed to be a great evil but, - - - - -
Carbon dioxide is an essential trace gas that underpins the bulk of the global food web. Estimates vary, but somewhere around 15% seems to be the common number cited for the increase in global food crop yields due to aerial fertilization with increased carbon dioxide since 1950. This increase has both helped avoid a Malthusian disaster and preserved or returned enormous tracts of marginal land as wildlife habitat that would otherwise have had to be put under the plow in an attempt to feed the growing global population. Commercial growers deliberately generate CO2 and increase its levels in agricultural greenhouses to between 700ppmv and 1,000ppmv to increase productivity and improve the water efficiency of food crops far beyond those in the somewhat carbon-starved open atmosphere. CO2 feeds the forests, grows more usable lumber in timber lots meaning there is less pressure to cut old growth or push into "natural" wildlife habitat, makes plants more water efficient helping to beat back the encroaching deserts in Africa and Asia and generally increases bio-productivity. If it's "pollution," then it's pollution the natural world exploits extremely well and to great profit.

And what about all the vast tracts of land in the world which are virtually uninhabitable at present because they are too cold, and the climate is too harsh, such as Siberia and Greenland?
I'm sure they would welcome a bit of global warming, and with a milder climate they could provide a refuge for people from places which may become too hot.

I think that is one possibility. But I don't think it is the only possibility. At least one other possibility is that global warming is caused by people burning to much coal, oil and natural gas.

Here in the UK, we used to be nearer to where Austrailia is once. And the plates are still moving. It all makes a difference. We seem to be heading toward Scandinavia.
