Even people in the know tend to forget that there have been interglacials where
there wasn't any ice at all on the earth. As I recall, most of the Cretaceous
was virtually ice-free. I also seem to recall that life thrived during such
times. Yes, global warming will likely make lots of changes to our global
environment, especially if one lives along the coast of one of the oceans. I
think that most scientists will agree to that. Whether such change is as dire
as it is made out to be - well, we can argue that until the cows come home (or
not).
