It has to warm up a bit to come out of an ice age. But the question is how much. Global warming advocates talk as if it's going to warm up so much that it'll kill everybody. That isn't necessary to end an ice age.

Yes. Nobody is denying that there are natural causes to global warming. However, we've been coming out of the last ice age for a long time. How do you explain that global warming is suddenly accelerating, as you can see below?

Natural causes can't account for this acceleration. They account for most of the warming up until the middle of the 20th century, but they can't account for the increase in warming after that. Climatologists have discovered that greenhouse gases have accounted for 80-90% of global warming over the past 40-50 years, as you can see here:

Bingo !! Exacto!! Correcto!! YES !! YOU- YOU have it Righto !! Too bad the vast majority of Americans have been feed and are eating this Scatology !!!! The purveyors of this Global Warming movement, are only telling about 10 % of the facts, and are very adept at making others feel guilty, in order to PACK THEIR POCKETS, BUCKETS, BUSHELS, and BARRELS with MULTI- MILLIONS OF DOLLARS !!!! How does the old saying go? "Fools and their money, do not make long time friends, for the fool will listen and believe the the utterences of the thief"

People like to conveniently forget that the world used to be a lot warmer than it is today (and very recently too by planetary standards). During the height of the Roman Empire, warm weather crops such as grapes and olives were being grown as far north as Scotland, and according to Viking writings Greenland was largely Ice free at that point as well. We're still coming out of a cold cycle, as is the rest of the solar system.

I know. The last planet wide cool down actually ended in the late 1800s and that followed a period the ended around 1500 that was warmer than it is today. It would be a surprise if the planet wasn't getting a bit warmer.

No, by definition, global warming is a runaway greenhouse effect when temperatures rise enough to kill off all life on the planet.

We need a large volcanic eruption like Krakatoa to happen again, which lowered average global temperatures by 2 degrees.

yeah the last ICE AGE was:
"The most recent glacial period ended about ten thousand years ago."
