Why Its Pointless To Argue With Global Warming Believers 1995

The amount of faulty logic I've seen coming from the global warming deniers in just the last couple of days is astounding, and you've just provided another neat example.
The fact that Earth's climate has changed in the past does absolutely nothing to prove that the *current* warming trend is not anthropogenic.
That 'reasoning' is precisely analogous to saying that, well, Joe can't be in the hospital because he was hit by a car, because the *last* time he was in the hospital, it was because he fell out a window.
Odds are, global warming (unless it ends up as a runaway cycle, which we can't really predict), wouldn't be particularly bad for the planet, in the long run.
It would certainly be very bad for human civilization, in the short run.
