Obama Science Adviser Says Humans Preventing New Ice AgeMakes me proud to run my 70's model John Deere tractor; think I'll go idle her for a while, to help keep the ice away.
Wait, what? Here’s the very radical John Holdren, Obama’s science adviser, suggesting that human greenhouse gas emissions are preventing a new ice age. So how then is anthropogenic global warming not a good thing? Here’s Holdren’s concluding bit:
“While the climate of the earth has changed over the millennia as a result of natural factors – principally changes in the tilt and orientation of the earth’s axis and rotation, and in the shape of its orbit around the sun – those changes occur far too gradually to have noticeable effects over a period of mere decades. In their current phases, moreover, they would be gradually cooling the earth – taking us to another ice age – if they weren’t being more than offset by human-caused warming.”
