    It would seem we humans have managed an amazing feat, we may very well have prevented the next natural Ice Age regardless of what the cosmos and orbital dynamics/Planetary axial tilt designate....yeah us.

    I just hope we didn't push it too far.

    I think the main advantage is more rain from storms.

    Now is a good time to start building more dams and reservoirs.

    The main disadvantage will be a lot of coastal flooding -- permanent flooding.

    The deserts will also get larger. If the local nations cannot utilize water reclamation and irrigation they will suffer if they are on the fringe of a desert like the Sahara, Gobi, etc.

    The Mojave should be fine so long as California builds more dams. Right now they steal a lot of water from Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. They need to be shut-off from the Colorado River.

    You do understand this is a planet and not just a state or country....correct?

    The planet Earth has had larger and smaller ice caps at the two poles in the past throughout geological time.

    You did learn that in school I presume -- or else you went to public school and maybe learned nothing except how to drink, smoke, and boink.

    There is nothing to worry about from global warming.

    Overall I think we will get more rain out of global warming.

    That means we should take advantage of it with more dams, reservoirs, canals, and irrigation everywhere.

    The deserts can easily bloom if you irrigate them.

    You have an interestingly limited understanding of hydrodynamics and atmospheric science. You might want to tell Texas how pleasant more rain is.

    Texas has lakes and reservoirs too.

    I have fished in them.

    I take it you have never seen a dam ??

    There is a lot to worry about from global warming. Any time the climate changes, living organisims must change also ornthey go extinct.

    I would start with large scale desalinization plants along the coasts and pipelines to areas that need the water for irrigation and drinking.

    No sh!t.

    That's what happens when you don't have any flood controls.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up about humans stopping the next ice age. That would be nice but sun spot activity or lack thereof indicates we may well be going into a cooling period very soon and in fact it may have already begun.

    Do you seriously not know what happened? NO flood control would have prevented this....NONE.

    Heh...solar max/min will have very little effect anymore.

    I seriously doubt man could over power the sun even if we tried. If we could though and as the minimum era takes hold there would be great benefit in negating the effects of that.

    It seems very clear your understanding of solar dynamics is limited, Thus I must dismiss your "interesting" opinion as simple ignorance.
