first off keep in mind that the earth's oceanic currents are what allows the earth to regulate temperature. Global warming is causing the polar ice caps to melt. the fresh, cold water coming from the ice caps then rushes into the ocean currents. When a large amount of fresh cold water rushes into the currents it causes the currents to changes both in temperature and in salinity. this change then in turns makes it so no warm air that is going into Europe thus causing an ice age. So in fact we are both having global warming and an ice age. it kind of sucks really.

We've already expereinced some warming and all indications are that this will continue, quite by how much is open to speculation but it seems likely to be in the order of 2 to 4°C in the next 100 years (global average, more in some places, less in others).
In our lifetimes at least, it's warming that we should be preparing for.
The natural warming were experiencing now is part of a phase that started some 18,000 years ago but this is really nothing more than a tiny blip in a much longer cooling cycle which began some 50 million years ago. Measured in timescales of millions of years the world is cooling so our descendants many, many generations down the line will probably experience temperatures far colder than anything mankind has ever experienced.

In the 70s it was an Ice Age. Then in the 80s through part of the 90s it was a giant meteor. Now it is gobal warming. I haven't figured out where they will go next. I think it may be another meteor. I seem to recall reading about one, a couple weeks ago, that is heading our way.

probably cold: as global warming increases, the ice caps will melt and the seas will expand, meaning the atlantic becomes less salty. This means the salt driven conveyer belt that brings hot water from the equator to britain and n. america will stop, so we will get the same temperatures that places like siberia have now. Cold ones.

What will come will come. All we need to prepare for is the coming of the Lord.
