I sure hope you are right. Most of the MIT/CalTech types I talk to aren't so confident about that.
Frankly, all I want out of this debate (in the country, not just between Freepers) is an agreement not to cripple the economy without a great deal more human causation evidence together with a much higher level of confidence that global temperatures will continue at the current delta.
Among Freepers, my goals are higher, I think those of us in Georgia should get together, drink some beer and discuss it... :)

That I can agree with.
together with a much higher level of confidence that global temperatures will continue at the current delta.
Judging from the geological record, staying where we have been at in the last 8kys even is unlikely in the extreme. I would say we can reasonably figure on toggling between deep glacial conditions and moderate temperatures for a few more million years if that is your delta.
