I believe China is on the right track. We are still in the Pleistocene Ice Ages,Interglacial stage No.5 (Holocene) We have had 5 consecutive 100 thousand year continental glaciations during the past 800 thousand years in the Northern Hemisphere The World started cooling 50 million years ago when plate tectonics interrupted a warm tropical ocean current that was keeping our polar regions over 20 deg C. Today our Arctic ocean is zero deg C. 32 million years ago Antarctica began icing up and the Arctic followed 14 million yrs ago. Reasoning from these hard facts, our present world average temperature is several degrees too cool to ever have a runaway warming trend with 10 times the present CO2 No one in his right mind, with a knowledge of the Pleistocene, could come up with the preposterous hypothesis of AGW. I see the earth today as in far more danger of another glaciation than to become too warm. Our sun is too weak at times to fend off another ICE AGE and if aided with climate engineering successfully sequestering CO2 to 1/2 of today’s value
in our atmosphere, I believe will almost surely usher in Pleistocene Glaciation No. 6.
