   "Dawn," are we pretending here? So, "Dawn," my scrumptious dish   
   of raspberry sorbet! I do so hate to correct you, you are so   
   delightfully obtuse, so please oh please do not take this as   
   a criticism but...   
      
   No. I pointed out that the "Ice Age," the Quaternary Period was   
   precipitated by the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, which   
   changed the way the earth circulated the energy from the sun. AND   
   this change in circulation took HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS   
   to cool the deep ocean waters, sparking the so called "Ice Age."   
   Pointing to this, what I "Claimed" is that we can geoengineer   
   the planet but it would likely take hundreds of thousands of years   
   before the Quaternary period ended -- so they'd be one or more   
   additional glacial periods in our future... almost certainly more   
   than one.   
      
   You're the idiot who thinks we can completely re-work the planets   
   climate with a couple of centuries of fossil fuels, amongst your   
   ever so endearing traits.
