Hello, name is Roger Smith. I am old, and have been on this earth for several decades. I lived during a very cold period of human history from 1945 until the late 1970s where I truly believed that we may be headed for another ice age. It was miserably cold during those years, and when it finally started warming again, I started an organization called Citizens for a Warmer Climate (CWC) (not really, but I have thought about doing so many times!) so that NO ONE WOULD FORGET those cold, miserable, incredibly crappy years. I am a skeptic because I have been conned in the past by seemingly good people who meant well. I guess it is just the nature of being old, and being from Missouri. Please do not take any offense to it. I respect your belief, and when it comes down to it, I wouldn't bet my life on any theory including the ones that I believe in!
