I have no proof, no links, no nothing besides my opinion. Could it be wrong? Probably. But I would rather live in my magical world and convince myself my V6-300HP car isn't really that bad.  |
Problem I have with that thinking is a natural cycle has always taken thousands and sometimes millions of years to run it's course, But our planet has changed considerably over the last 50 years. way too shot to be natural IMO
For example the earth was mostly a frozen ball for 900 million years (1600~2500 million years ago) and took the last 100 million of those years to warm mostly because of volcanism, plant growth and stabilization of the continents, this lead to the increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere and warmed the planet.
Obviously there have been many cooling times and ice ages, recent ice ages are blamed on anything from polar shifts,collisions of comets/meteors to the suns activity but none has happened in a short period of time. Hell even when the big meteor killed the Dino's 65 million years ago they think it took 800 years to cool the planet enough to kill them off.
