<If you look back 140,000 years, you'll see a tremendous spike in global temperatures, during a time when civilization or industrialization could not had any impact upon temperatures or the creation of greenhouse gases. And if you also note, we're near a similar peak of temperature highs, generally followed by a precipitous decline in temperatures. So the evidence is that this has happened before without mankinds "assistance", and there may be nothing we can do to stop it, even were we to completely give up producing all green-house gases.> LOL, current spike is similar to a comet or something hit us 140K years ago and that's supposed to make me feel better because is was natural?? It makes me feel worse if indeed the current spike is because of us... isn't the only good outcome if the current spike ISN'T caused by us? DAK

fact is, if one looks back coupla billion years, the earth was HOT - without human intervention -. Also coupla times since. BUT, this is no proof for the argument we have nothing to do with whats been happening since say round 100 years. IT IS US. Period. Adding a comet or something similar on top of that is ... what ? .... wishful thinking?... As Marx said about economy :"It's not our intention to explain it, we want to do something about it". Do we? Like maybe buying VW Lupo burning a gallon per 100 km? Do you really, really need that SUV (it's expensive you know, at 20% bozo rate on your card) dj
