I wonder how you are always so sure of your statements, Mike. Climate is
so complex that any predictions made by people who spent their lives
studying it are at best an educated guess, instead you seem really sure of
what will happen 20+ years ahead.

And I don't see how having less ice will avoid cooling selected parts of
the world. There's no need to go under zero to call spring, summer and
fall "cold", except maybe for residents of Calgary and Fairbanks :-)
