I suspect what not many like, myself included, is the unsupported assertion that if not for global warming we'd be entering an ice age.

The temperature going a little up and down over the decades has been used as an argument even by the climate change deniers, i don't think anyone would contest that...? And it was just starting to go down when the industrialization started, which reversed the the direction within 50 yrs.
- throwanem 4y agoI consider the assertion unsupported because it was asserted without support, as if no more controversial than to say that water's wet. Generally, when advancing a heterodox claim, one does well to source it so that interlocutors and audience members can evaluate it on some more substantial basis than whether they feel like taking a stranger's word for it, which around here people mostly (and correctly!) won't.
