Global warming? What global warming?

It has plagued scientists and politicians for decades, but scientists now say global warming is not the problem.

We are actually heading for the next Ice Age, they claim. British and Canadian experts warned the big freeze could bury the east of Britain in 6,000ft of ice.

Most of Scotland, Northern Ireland and England could be covered in 3,000ft-thick ice fields. The expanses could reach 6,000ft from Aberdeen to Kent – towering above Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain.

I like this part:

And what’s more, the experts blame the global change on falling - rather than climbing - levels of greenhouse gases.

Lead author Thomas Crowley from the University of Edinburgh and Canadian colleague William Hyde say that currently vilified greenhouse gases – such as carbon dioxide – could actually be the key to averting the chill.

The warning, published in the authoritative journal Nature, is based on records of tiny marine fossils and the earth’s shifting orbit.

But, let’s not panic, m’kay? We have plenty of time to decide what to do:

Professor Crowley said the stark findings do not mean we should stop fighting warming. But he urged: ‘Don’t push the panic button.’

‘There’s no excuse for saying “we’ve got to keep pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,”’ he told Reuters. ‘Geologically it’s tomorrow, but we have lots of time to argue about the appropriate level of greenhouse gases.’

Funny, isn’t it, that when the politically correct crowd could use global warming as a means to get you to change your lifestyle it was NOW. We’ve got to act NOW. We’re doomed.

But....since it’s starting to look like the whole man-made global warming thing was bunk from the start, well, relax. We’ve got plenty of time. Heh.
