how can it be a ice age if the globe gets to hot? In the end nothing will be able to live on the planet due to the incredibly hot environment. Important animals will die out, and the "circle" (Fish eats bigger fish and so on) will stop.

An example of global warming is butterfly worms (Or whatever you call them)
They turn into butterflies to early, meaning the birds is not able to feed their young like they used too, meaning a lack of food. And the birds will die out. There are many examples of this, when thickening the ozone layer more heat will stay here on earth, and in the end no heat will go out into space. Making it hotter.

Btw, fossil fuel is not unlimited (unless you want to wait a few million years) So in time you will run out of it, what are you supposed to do then? That song is just stupid...

It's just a theory, that's not true.. Eh, but anyway, believe what you want..

As I have said before you are being far too general with what you are saying. And clearly you did not read or have ignored about what I have said regarding new opportunities for more CO2 reducing plant-life to grow in regions that are currently too cold for it to do so if the Earth does warm up. And we are in an ice age because the definition of an ice age is the presence of ice caps.
What about the landscapes near the equator, lets use Greenland for an example, you want to use Greenland to grow new plants, so you use more CO2 or heat up the planet in other ways. Greenland starts to melt, Norway is pretty hot in the summer time now, Sweden as well. Move down to Africa, or maybe the USA too. The temp will be so hot there, at least in the summer time, making it unbearable. We could easily use most of Africa to grow these plants. Maybe even saving a ton of people in the process, getting food for the less unfortunate people. Instead of killing all people down with the equator.

You are taking this way too far. Greenland cannot melt, it is land, not ice. And the equator will not become uninhabitable. The highest the average global temperature could rise would be 4-7 degrees Celsius, and this would take centuries of constant fossil fuel burning, which would not be possible because you would run out of fossil fuels to burn.

The average global temperature has only risen 0.74 degrees Celsius over the last century, and if human activity is to be entirely blamed for this then it would be because of the large scale industrial activity and the rise of the auto-mobile market in the early-mid 20th century that once produced unacceptable amounts of waste products but is now carefully moderated.

So in theory you would have to recreate the industrial development of the early-mid 20th century over 9 times (that's if you don't run out of resources) and quite quickly in order to produce the way over the top scenarios that you are ranting about.

You are clinging at bits and bobs of things you have heard from one source to another and exaggerating them many times over. If you want to talk about climate change then you must be prepared to be realistic.

Furthermore, you also seem to believe that everywhere on the equator is hot, this is not true. Snow exists on the many mountains that can be found in the equatorial region, and there are even cities on the equator that experience a mild climate like Quito for example, the capital of Ecuador which has an average maximum temperature of 19 degrees and an average low of 9. It even occasionally snows there.

(Also, the climate of Baltic and Scandinavian countries can be hot in the summer, but mainly in the Southern parts and it's been this way for quite a while as records prove. You can't just say the country in general because the climate varies all over it.)
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. Idea
