“Certainly over time scales of hundreds to thousands of years, we are more concerned with anthropogenic effects on climate, as the Earth heats up in response to emissions of carbon dioxide. But only time will tell where the Earths climate will drift over millions of years.”
1) Temps. seem to rise about 800 years BEFORE the CO2 levels rise.
2) Regardless, manmade CO2 only accounts for about 0.118% of the greenhouse effect.
3) The last interglacial warm period lasted about 13,000 to 15,000 years. We are on about year 12,000 for our current warm period. (Note: Past results are no guarantees of future events.)

If this looks like it really would happen we could try terraforming - open a sea lane through the Isthmus of Panama. Some people think it's closure is what caused the Quaternary.

I used to think all the catastophe theory hysteria was due to the illusion of central position wherein each generation has that certainty that times are different because WE ARE HERE and that the world will surely end before we do.
There were maniacal cults about armageddon, end-of-millenium, etc. Global cooling looks like the real thing.
I remember standing on a hill in west Texas and looking in disbelief at GLACIAL STRIATION MARKS left there during the last ice age. That's way, way south...
