The Reference Frame: Will CO2 save us from next ice age?

...one may neglect the CO2 greenhouse effect in all discussions of the glaciation cycles. So even though you may be happy that CO2 is sometimes being attributed a positive role, the "savior who will save us from the next ice age", the underlying logic is still the same pseudoscience. Those people still attribute CO2 some amazing importance for the climate which it doesn't have. It's sad to see that most of the science journalists and probably also climatologists (and related geologists) are incompetent but it's probably inevitable.

Only YOU can save Earth from the next ice age! « Hot Air

But since apparently nobody knows what they’re talking about anyway, enjoy the warm weather this winter and do your part to stop killer glaciers from crushing America yet again. The world is counting on you.
