No, the earthquake shifted the earth's axis by some what. So we definatly did not get the cool air from the north, we probably shifted downwards.

I'd assume that the ancient gasses where about the same as the current gasses, full of good ol oxygen and junk!
I highly doubt that "ancient gasses" will hurt us, what's more likely to is ancient diseases frozen in the ice,

I already have plenty of times, and I have read many differant sides of the same global warming arguement.
everything I read has pointed to 2 things.
1. the global warming isn't nearly as much of a problem as they're trying to make it out to be, even though it is a problem.
It's mainly a source of power, trying to get certain people in charge by making something out to the extreme and pretending like they're going to try to fix and prevent it, only to get elected.
2. extortionism, so far everyone not looking for power has been trying to view it one way, the bad side effects.
While they may have a few good ideas and excuses/explenations, they're constantly looking for the bad parts and thus have mostly made up explenations, which are falso information.
While this may help a little, everyone completely ignores the good side effects and focusses on the bad, thus creating a one-sided conversation.
for this very reason, I have studied both the good and the bad so I could help balance out the arguement with valid reasoning, but anything other than the bad side effects is constantly ignored by the majority since it doesn't follow their reasoning.

The melting of polar ice release trapped CO[sub]2[/sub] into the atmosphere, plus it causes the Earth to absorb more heat (sea water absorbs 90% of the heat, ice reflects 90% of it). True, the polar ice has been shrinking since the last ice age, but it has grossly accelerated over the past 200 years to alarming and unnatural rates.

After the ice age, there where significantly less people so the earth was able to balance itself out with trees/plants.
4. It may be a problem to us, but it's not a major problem since the earth is designed to balance itself out certain ways.
believe it or not, the earth is designed to wipe parts of us out when we get out of control,
it's to teach us a lesson and to keep us alive.

Well, it finally reached the good ol 3 digit temperatures here, so hopefully it goes back to normal soon.
It could very well be caused by something not-in this planet, but from other things like nearby planets and the earths orbit,
so don't stick with trying to make up excuses from the weather, there's numerous things that could've caused this.

-It will eventually get uncomfortably hot, even for you.
-See above. Hundred of millions of people would be displaced. Maybe you don't have a house that would be destroyed, but many others do. Are you that heartless? Furthermore, the melting of the icecaps would drastically shift the oceanic salinity, possibly shutting down the ocean conveyor belts. Such an occurrence would cause immediate and drastic climate change, more likely sending the world back into an ice age for a few thousand years.
-A drastic increase in UV radiation would not thin out the the human race, it would cause its extinction. Humans and most other terrestrial K-strategists living would be wiped out. Fortunately, the United States has already taken many steps to eliminate the destruction of the ozone layer, such as banning CFCs (cholorofluorocarbons), and the ozone layer is slowly beginning to mend.
Global warming exists.
Global warming, if allowed to continue unchecked, will cause catastrophic damage.

Your point was that the earth is a little bit off the axis? So? The earth has natural warm up and cool down periods, sure, we're helping it a bit. Also, it's going to be hot because it's summer we're the closest to the sun I'll ever hope to be!

So, you thinks its better to let it kill a bunch of us off and then pick ourselves up afterwards? We're faced right now with a chance to stop the unnatural acceleration of this, so why not take the opportunity?
Yes, it is true that global warming is not a threat to the existence of life on Earth, but the devastation unchecked global warming would cause is greater than anything that has happened in recorded history (since circa 2000 B.C.E). They human race might not become extinct, but billions would die. Most people consider that a big problem.

If such an ice age occured from a breakdown of the ocean coveyor belts, it would override any warming and freeze over most of the world for a fairly long time, before the climate righted itself. In essence, it would be no better than global warming.

Global warming will cause the Earth to get gradually hotter, but if a large amount of freshwater suddenly enters the ocean very rapidly (as would happen if a large amount of Greenland ice broke off and melted in open water), then the climate shift would occur extremely rapidly, within the course of months.
