<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">All geologists
agree that the current ice age never ended and that we are still in it. The
current interstatial (warm period) began around 12,000 BC and will probably end
soon (although not quite as suddenly as in the blockbuster film made on the
subject a few years ago). On past experience, the ice will advance to just
north of London
and there will be a wide belt of tundra to the south of it. Global warming is
not the problem. I think the north African countries should be welcomed into
the European Union with open arms.</span></p>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">In fact, ice
ages are a quite unusual phenomenon in geological history (there was another
one in the Permian), it's just that we happen to be in one and it's still going
on. The earth has usually (outside occasional ice ages) been quite a lot warmer
than it is now.</span></p>
