Is global warming hysteria pointless considering the next ice age is imminent?

It’s me :) asked:


I believe in human caused global warming, but it’s a consensus in the non-politically motivated community that interglacial periods last about 10,000-15,000 years. And the last glacial periods ended that long ago.

So could global warming forestall this human catastrophe?

Frankly, I think it doesn’t matter either way because we’re doomed to extinction sometime soon. Most Earth scientists agree on this too.

What is the deal with the global warming sceptics who actually have academic credentials?

AJ asked:


I’m fully in agreement with the idea that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the cause of global warming. I’m still amazed that there are reputable scientists out there that continue to cast doubt about what is no longer debatable. I’m not interested in hearing from more sceptics…I already know your talking points. I’d like to hear from the more astute among you who actually know what you’re talking about. What’s the dealio with these rebels? Are they true believers or simply pathological contrarians?
