Besides, rational analysis indicates the planet has been on the cold side of normal ever since the poles froze over 14 million years ago. We have had 5 recurring glaciations during the last 1 3/4 million years. Another glaciation would be far more stressful on humanity than warming a few degrees celsius. Note, these glacial intervals have averaged more than 100,000 years in duration so we are talking about major, major climate swings in our future. Now just where did the evil in AGW originate?
