"How much more time do the polar bears have if there's no more pollution? How much shorter or cooler will the global warming period be if we halt all contamination? "


"ergo...CO2 is a trace gas and it you read up on it humans create a small percent(.04%) of that trace."


Let's see now, 1.6 million cubic miles of glacial ice, subjected to an estimated 1/10th of 1% increase in ambient temperature - as a result of that . 04% anthropogenic "impact" = 175,000 years, by my calculations.

...subject to natural events, of course.
