New take on global warming?

Question

I fully understand global warming theory. Monitor big ice throughout freeze-thaw cycles and notice the net result of thaw. Let's grant that humans are responsible for warming over this tiny swath of time, insignificant in geological terms. Still, with every extreme cold snap, the Sun-Earth system proves to us that natural forces are orders of magnitude more powerful than any human activity. At any time our concerns can be made trivial by forces beyond our conceit. Number of times scientists have been correct about long term predictions?: zero. Whose guesses can be better?: anyone's. Tell me what you think, and if you disagree, share a few long-term predictions from scientists that have come true.

Answer 1

I think that there is a get on the bandwagon feel about global warming. I don't see too many counter arguments about where this is going. I don't buy into the fact that it is solely the human race fault. Around 900 AD the planet started going through a warming trend with temperatures that seem to be higher than today's. The trend lasted until about 1300 when the "little ice age" begun. This period of global cooling lasted until the 1850's and we've been warming up ever since. It makes you wonder what cause the planet to warm up in the 900's. After a while of looking into this you see a pattern form. The world warms up, glaciers and ice caps melt, the melting water causes the gulf stream to slow down then stop. Then the world goes through a cooling period (more so in the Northern Hemisphere). With that said we might be in another little ice age in the next 50 years. It might take it happening to convinces us that we still don't know everything.
