From the very first day we discovered fire by banging two rocks together, we've been releasing bad shit into the environment.

You want to see messing with nature, check out acid leaching used in gold mining. Makes anything the oil industry does look green

70,000 years ago, mount Toba erupted in Indonesia. It covered the entire Indian subcontinent with half a foot of ash, ejected 10,000,000,000 metric tons of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere, caused a multi-year winter world wide, and almost wiped us out.

12,000 years ago, a good part of North America, including all of Canada was covered with kilometer thick ice sheets.
