When will a reverse in global warming occur?

Question

I may be wrong (correct me if I am,) but the warmer weather and wacky storms are a direct result of global warming. When will the reverse (like the one in "The Day After Tommorow") of global warming occur. I realize that I will not happen in weeks, as thought in Hollywood, but over many years (which is still extremely fast for a change in global temperature.) My opinion is that this would be a good thing for humans, forcing us to make our use of the world God gave us much cleaner.

We have no way of knowing when the temperatures will trend downward again. Records have been kept only over the last 150 years or so, and much of those aren't "global". The average temperature has, overall, been trending upward the entire time. The changes are minute but, as we are seeing, the effects can be profound.

Whatever the actual causes of global warming, anything that might convince us humans to stop making a mess of our planet is, in the long run, a very good thing. We are, as a group, an extremely self-centered, short-sighted, destructive lot, interested in nothing but our own short-term comforts. We show no regard for future humans or for any other living thing, destroying habitat, fouling water and air, destroying entire species, reproducing like rats. Maybe the pictures of polar bears with nowhere to go will make an impression where nothing else has.

Answer 2

I remember back in high school in the 70's they were saying the world was getting colder and we were headed into global cooling. Now they say global warming. I think about every several hundred years the earth goes through warming and cooling cycles naturally. I hope this helps a little.
Not a weather expert....

If we were to reverse the damage we have caused in the first place, then I would say around 50 years at least. But of course we have to stop the damage first and we are still doing damage, just that we are slowing it down with cleaner burning engines and no CFC's,and the such.
