ISUPPOSE WE WILL JUST HAVE TO PAY THE CARBON TAX SO THE POLITITIONS CAN CLAIM MORE EXPENCES

The world is continually going through a world-wide climate cycle, shifting from hot to cold to hot in a span of thousands of years. The last Ice Age was caused by this shift to cold, and we are now nearing the peak of the shift to hot.
Coincidentally, one of the primary reasons that Global Warming remains merely a theory and not yet a fact is due to this measured trend. Unfortunately, we are *supposed* to be experiencing a sharp increase in temperature right now. The graphs that show this trend have been plotted backwards for tens of thousands of years. That makes it much harder to determine how much of an effect greenhouse gasses are causing.
The Woolly Mammoth (Furry Mammoth?) was brought to extinction from a combination of the climate change and overhunting by the various ancestors of modern humans (I believe the main one responsible was called Cro Magnon, but that could very well be incorrect.)

Like many have said, global warming is the cause. The Earth's temp rises and falls just like the warmth we get from the sun. Global warming doesnt mean the Earth will get warmer and drier, But it can also trigger an Ice Age, the ice caps melt sending fresh water into the sea which is as we all know is salt water. This would upset the ocean currents for instance the Gulf Stream which gives the UK its warm climate in summer, if that moves further south then the UK would have cooler and wetter summers (like the one we have had recently) Those who say its caused by us i.e Co2 emissions are wrong, Global warming is NATURAL nothing we can do will stop it, we are due another ice age, man survived the last one and man is more than capable of surviving the next one.

It is a natural event. Ice will always melt eventually.
The process will happen more rapidly as the amount of ice reduces. This is where we are right now.
Governments should not be aligning themselves with the Green lobby who have an alarmist agenda to attain their political ends. They have enrolled some scientists to push that agenda.
When politicians stop swallowing the green agenda and starts addressing the problem by diverting their attention to adapting to the changing scenario then the better it will be for all of us.

no one really cares how it happened, the yanks certainly didnt care untill they realized how much money was to be made with all the devices to combat global warming like solar panels, wind farms and best of all the tax money that could be put on anything that had a hint of saving the world from itself. Re-cycling is one of the best cons they have thought up yet, the japanese have been doing it for years with all the warships they could get for nothing to make cars, and bye the way I think it was the coming of the ice age that killed the mamoths

The Earth is still in an Ice Age. An Ice age is usually defined as the planet having permanent polar ice caps. For most of its existence Earth has been far to warm to have permanent ice caps so this period of Earth geological history is quite unusual. In an Ice Age the climate switches between glacial (very cold) periods and interglacial (warmer periods). We are currently in an interglacial.
Although it is not clear what causes an Ice Age to start the switch between glacial/interglacial my be driven by variations in Earth's orbit (Milankovitch cycles).
New evidence suggests that glacial periods may end very abruptly, possibly in just a few decades which is far to short a time for mega fauna like mammoths etc. to evolve to new warmer climactic conditions. This plus more effective human predation may have pushed them to extinction.

We're still coming out of the ice-age - the earth still hasn't thawed out so it will get worse before the big freeze again.

Global warming presumably - so it's nothing new is it! I'm not sure about the Furry Mamoth although I think you probably mean Woolly Mammoth.

The Ice melted? and Furry mammoth got too hot.

we are at the end of the ice age right now!! from now to 50yrs.
this happens after sum billions of yrs.
its a cycle.
(back then, i mean billions of years ago there was no humans, so we no that global waring neva had an affect.
but because of global warming now the world reacting quicker and therefore it happen quicker!!
we cant stop it no matter what ( ice caps to melt) but we can slow them down!!

Global warming caused the ice age to end and the wooly mammoth (not furry) died off because they could not Indore the severe climate change
