I live in a area the has been heavily glaciated on multiple occasions. This is irrefutable fact. The rock scrapings, silt and gravel deposits, and glacial erratics, eskers, and moraines are everywhere to be seen.

Nine thousand years ago, long before SUV's, pseudo-science, spray deoderants, and politicians, the last big glaciers in my state melted. Since the glaciers have not yet returned, simple logic dictates that we have been in a warming trend for ....nine thousand years.

Someday the glaciers will return, not by cold winters, but by cold summers in the snowfields of the Hudson Bay area. Politicians will stand and point across the aisle, scientists will grovel for grants, and lackeys will nod and murmer in agreement with their masters.

Mother Nature will ignore them all, and do what she has always done.
