I wonder if any of these alarmist scientists ever stopped to consider if maybe we're living in the age of the anomaly...and maybe that's why humanity has thrived. Now we go back to the "normal" colder period and much of the population will die off for various reasons. The time mankind has been on earth is just a second or so in terms of geological time. Maybe we don't have enough of an historical record to determine what is "normal" in terms of climate.
