Scientists say a huge meteorite hit earth gazillions of years ago, leading to an ice age. As I look outside, I see snow and bitter cold (MI sucks), but I don't see glaciers making inch-a-year tracks across the midwest... The earth adjusts, recovers, and continues on. We are mere flecks of insignificant duration in the scheme of the world and the universe. Look back at the popular concensus on earth's history. It is nothing, if not cyclical. I love that these scientists and their cult followers in the "climate-change" group (amazing how quickly they're getting away from the "global-warming" tag given the weather recently) can't answer the logic that if we can't STOP it, how did we ever START it? The earth has its coping mechanisms, all of which work. Atmosphere heating up? More water evaporates, cooling the air and creating more cloudcover to reflect sunlight to cool even more. More CO2 in the air, plantlife flourishes because of the increased levels, and as a result more oxygen is produced. Those two mechanisms are more than powerful enough to counter ANYTHING man can throw at them... and that's only TWO.
I forget the exact statistics, but I recall reading that if the earth's orbit around the sun was disturbed ~1% plus or minus its current distance, earth would be UNINHABITABLE - and considering how long the earth has been around (to all but the creationists), the fact that life still exists on this rock is amazing. And after everything the earth has gone through, we are here still, and that's the proof that I need to believe that there is nothing that man can do to cause or "FIX" global warming/climate change. Nature is in flux, and always has been. It's our responisbility to learn to live through it, not change nature. This is all just the newest "panic-politics". "Don't vote for this party, they'll destroy the world because they don't care about cow flatulence destorying the ozone!"
