| I don't doubt for a second that the Earth has a natural cycle of warming and cooling. It has done it for millions of years, and will continue to do so. However, were modern elements of today (such as cars)around back when the last ice age happened approximately 10,000 years ago? Obviously not. Nature has its cycle, but what happens when we mess with it? If we speed up or slow down the process, what happens? The flaw with the "it is part of Earth's cycle" argument is that the ice samples from past ice ages don't include factors that are part of today's world. Neither side can really claim to know what's best for the issue. I, however, am trying to do my part in reducing my carbon emissions. Reducing the impact humans have could give scientists more time to discover the real effects we have on the planet. I guess only time will tell, though. |
