The earth is warming but so in Mars, Uranus and Neptune. The sun has
been in a 300 year warming cycle.

Truth is, we are still more likely to be heading for an ice age, as was
taught to me way back when. The usual warm period between ice ages is
about 10,000 years and we are on the back end of that. Also, each
cooling period was preceded by an increase in warming and CO2 levels,
exactly what is happening now. So we could be in the typical cycle and
need to break out the parkas for a nice 100,000 year cool down.

Sun cycles and ice ages are still poorly understood. So is global
warming, even though it is touted as an exact science. It may even be
that the added CO2 from mankind might forestall the ice age, and
implementing CO2 reduction will bring it on sooner.

There is more to climate than CO2 out of a tailpipe.
