Well, then, if this happens we move to the arctic.
Sounds simple enough.
We adopt.

Yup and Halliburton was in on it selling sump pumps.

The Arctic was a happy, sunny place before President Bush! There were rainbows and bunnies and chocolate rivers!

Skeptics of man-made causes of global warming have nothing to rejoice over, however. The researchers say their studies appearing in Thursday's issue of Nature also offer a peek at just how bad conditions can get. No agenda in that "news" article, huh... Just the facts. Uh, right.

Well, then, if this happens we move to the arctic. What if Canada builds a really big fence to keep us out? (or will I be accused of hijacking a thread again)?

Well was man using fossil fuels then? How could the earth have been so warm without man's interference?
I did a computer model of the artic temperatures based on this data and by measuring the temperature then and the temperature now we can expect further declines in the temperature, not an increase as the global warming crowd would have us believe.

"...mosquitoes were probably the size of your head..." Heck, I think I've seen those in Canada!

Give the Arctic a break. Global Cooling was the theory and the rage back in the seventies. Now that it's Global Warming, the Arctic is doing it's best to get hip by melting its icecaps, etc. But it takes time. You can't expect the Arctic to turn on a dime whenever a new trend comes along.

So, was this before the polarity reverse?

Instead of building my hurricane ready supplies .... should I just scrap the whole thing and buy a parka?

In addition to plate tectonics, there's also the matter of the earth's precession. Every so often it tilts so that the Arctic faces more toward the sun, then away more. The changing tilts correspond to ice ages.

Perhaps massive releases of methane from the ocean, the continent-sized burning of trees, lots of volcanic eruptions That's it! The Golgafrinchams caused it!

It sounds like they are presuming the continents were then, where they are now. There is no Arctic continent, and there wasn't one 55 million years ago either. It doesn't matter where the continents were. They drilled these cores from the ocean floor.

Bad news for all the salesmen and saleswomen out there! You could and may once again be able to sell AC and ice to Eskimos. Your legendary feats look small, now.

So why does the first graph on this website show CO2 levels 10 times current levels in several places while the earth was cooling?
