The earth was four degrees C colder at the peak of the ice age 21,000 years ago.   So the above is simply not true.

  "Arguably, the Earth can be considered in a C02 famine."

Anything can be argued.  Presenting evidence is another story.

 "Finally, it’s good to remember none of the climate-hysteria predictions have come true."

Models have predicted since 1965, when they were very primitive indeed compared to the ones used today, that the earth would warm.  And it has done so.  Success.
Models in 1965 predicted that the stratosphere would cool.  It has cooled.  And we are aware of no natural process that would result in the observed cooling.   Success.  And a very counter intuitive one.
Models from the mid 70s on predicted more warming in high latitudes than low latitudes.  This is observed.  Success.
Model from the mid 70s predicted more winter warming than summer.  Success.
Models since the 1990s have predicted that one the whole (there will be exceptions) dry areas will get dryer, wet areas wetter.  Success.
And so on.

 ""In five years, scientists predict we will have the first ice-free Arctic summer."
 "John Kerry back in 2009."

This was the prediction of a few workers, and never was the consensus, nor endorsed by IPCC.  I am not aware of any GCM simulation that predicted an ice-free arctic at that time.
"NASA climate researcher Gavin Schmidt wrote in an e-mail to us that Maslowski's prediction isn't necessarily a communitywide opinion.
"A fair statement would be that some scientists have predicted summer ice free Arctic Ocean as soon as 2013, but others expect it to happen a little slower — say 2040-2060," Schmidt wrote."
Stick with the popcorn, Lynn.
