Please note the use of the words "man-made". Global warming is obviously ocurring and has been since the last iceage. Our noticing it (and harping about it...thanks algore, et al)) has nothing to do with its rate nor will it have any effect on it ceasing. Nor will anything we do or fail to do have a noticeable effect on said rate.

This question begs to be answered: When the last iceage ended, and "global warming" began to occur....What caused this warming? GM and Ford? British Petroleum and subsidiaries? Aerosol cans and freon?

Additionally, if and when there is no more ice in the Arctic, those that must have it will find an ever-increasing overabundance of it in the Antarctic.
