Right, just a coincidence, every 25,000 years the earth warms up. You actually believe a frigging word you spout? What are you, an oil company yes-men or something? Total nonsense. There's not a single serious scientist in the world who doesn't admit global warming is man-made and a serious problem even though Big Oil has paid dozens of them to lie over the past few decades.

Maybe part of it is natural (volcanos, natural forest fires, etc.) but not much. It's because every person in the developed world burns a thousand gallons of gas a year. What do you expect? It has its effects.

re: Sure, global warming is just a coincidence that happens to coincide with the industrial age

do you recall when the 2nd half of last age happened? Well, that is when the warming started and was accelerating ever since. The warming started somewhere between 25,000 and 50,000 years ago. Wow, never thought that industrial age is that old.....


That's not true. The earth was cooling until the industrial revolution and the CO2 ppm in the atmosphere had been pretty much locked in a range for thousands of years again until the beginning of the industrial revolution.

This simple PP chart makes it clear:
