You mean that we might finally discover the 'Northwest Passage'?
I am not making light of the change in climate, as minor as it is, but it is minuscule compared to the changes that have occurred over the past centuries since recorder time. The Nile valley was the plushest area there was, now it is dessert. Other areas that were unlivable are now fertile areas. The Vikings had a thriving colony on Greenland till the minor ice age that is finally ending. (Ever wonder why it is called Greenland?)
If you go back to prehistory you will also find out that this is the most stable our climate has ever been. Nothing like the 45* changes in a 10 year period.
This fact alone may be why civilization had a chance to grow.

Harvey:
I'm poorly qualified to debate the issue but it does appear to be undeniable. I'm not sure that it won't bring good things as well as bad. I'm more concerned about losing species of animals and aquatic life.
By the way, I've never found a pre-historic author I'm fond of--can you recommend one?
Speaking of hijacking a thread 8-O

I agree though sometimes it's hard to stay focused. But if you look back you'll see that the guy who hijacked the thread was the originator.

I have been very properly chastised. I am going to rename the thread and put the relevant posts in a new thread with the old title.
I am truly sorry.

I was referring to Boz. He was the one who started the weather issue.
Let's all jump on him.

And I continued with it. I am just as guilty.
But I think the problem is fixed.
(Brrr, just got cold around here. Had to keep on topic.)
