Strange Famous, the question is not whether global warming is happening (it is), but more: what is the cause of it, and what will happen?

We've had these things happen before, only to be followed by a colder period. I for one would not be surprised if the temperature will go *down* in the future, thanks to global warming...

After all, if all that polar ice melts, the salt level in the oceans will drop, which might affect the gulf-stream, which in turn affects the weather in the US and Europe - we'd be freezing our arses of if it wasn't for that oceanic current. (As has happened before, during the ice ages.)
