As the Max-Planck institute for meteorology already stated some time ago one third of the global warming during the last century has been caused by the sun. That's 2/3 for us alone so the US should just sign the Kyoto treaty and stop arguing as a first step. And no, apparently their great woods didn't save our climate.
Oh and some of the posts in this forum are so ignorant and stupid that reading them makes me sick. Global warming is no green conspiracy but one of the major threats in the 21st century. And indeed global warming can cause a new ice age, at least for some parts of the earth. Global warming is causing a slowdown of the gulf stream and if it drops to half its current speed it will just collaps and not start working again during the next couple of hundred years. If you ever had geology at school I won't need to explain to you what this means and if you hadn't then just use Google for a change.
