It stands to reason that the earth warmed before or after the ice ages.
    Ice ages take hundreds of thousands of years to come around. You can't say that because we have had 2 or three cooler years on a graph of 150 mostly warmer years that we are starting to have an "ice age". If we were really starting an ice age the decline would be so gradual that we would not perceive it in our lifetime.

    Geologic events like ice ages work in a much, much longer timeline. If you look at the timeline over which the global rise in temperature has occurred and compare it to the geologic timeline of ice-ages and warming cycles, the contrast is shocking.

    I'm not saying that we are moving towards a ice age right now. I was simply making an point that this could very well be a natural cycle of the earth. I was watching the discovery channel a while back and it said something about the temps of Mars and a few other planets have gone up also.

    check out natgeo's website for more info on this b/c our whole solar system is warming up. we are kind of in the equator of the universe per say so there is more energy,radiation= warming. the earth does go through cycles and the last "semi ace age" was like 4-500 years ago. some ice ages can be caused by massive volcanic eruptions which has happened many times before. the glacier records tell a long tale of the climate of this planet. so are you telling me that global warming and me driving my SUV is causing mars to warm up too.
    Check out my for sale threads!! 15" competition speakerbox, 1TB External hard drive, and plenty of car parts!!!

    I Need some WRX, 350Z, 240SX, Really any car owner to let me do R&D for Ground Kits, Please Let me See the layouts!!!

    bring up a interesting ethical type question

    if this is a natural cycle for the earth, and other planets, temperature's to go up, it would be really bad for the human race as a whole. So our intervention is in short un natural, but some could say its saving the human race.

    before someone says, how is it bad for humans etc.
    Rising temps = storms , droughts, tsunami's etc etc.

    Droughts = less food. Storms = destroyed infrastructure, life, destroyed croplands etc. Tsunami's wipe out industry, cities, islands as a whole. Changes in weather, have effected the water currents and that can wipe out huge amounts of life in the sea which would again effect our food supply. No shrimp? fuk that i want my scampi.

    The idea is that these things will get worse and worse etc until the point where the natural cycle kicks back in for cooling.

    So should we adapt, develop super crops, alternate food sources etc, which we are attempting btw on a global scale, or just say fuk it earth u aint gonna change on us.
