Yes. It's the dimwit global warming deniers that don't understand the carbon and heat storage after those ice ages was released over hundreds of years. Life and atmosphere on Earth was able to adjust. Man made global warming is bringing those changes in too fast and it's causing irreversible damage instead of natural change.

That's a great question. The Earth goes through cyclical climate periods called "glacial periods" and "interglacial periods." During cold glacial periods, the polar ice caps expand and cover more ocean area, sea levels drop, and global temperatures cool. These cycles are not perfectly understood, but we do know that they are caused by a combination of factors: the axial tilt of the Earth, the orbital eccentricity of the Earth, the activity of the Sun, etc. We also know quite well how these cycles have behaved in the past up until present day. We are currently just past the peak of an "interglacial period," with receded ice caps, high sea levels, and warmer climate. Emprically, from where we are now with global climate, we should be seeing global average temperatures drop gradually, by maybe 3 degrees Celsius, over the next few thousand years. Instead, we are watching as global temperatures have instead risen by about one degree over the past hundred years, with the change accelerating rather than showing a constant change or deceleration as expected. So, there's that fact, which might seem like not a big deal. It might not be a big deal, but it still is a thing that has been recorded. But then you have to wonder why that's happening, and contend with other data. And it doesn't take a genius to figure out that burning fuel releases heat. If you do thirty seconds of research, you can look up the quantity of petroleum being consumed every year. We know how much quantity of heat is given off per unit of petroleum, so it is as simple as multiplying x times y to figure the amount of heat added to the Earth by humans. I strongly suggest that you do at least some basic investigation into these sorts of things before you go around jumping into this sort of argument.

The issue is that we have dug up and burned 150 million years worth of buried carbon, methane and so forth (not to mention all the methane released from cattle and other farming) in such quantity all in the past 150 years while also having cut down half of the world's forests. Do you believe the Earth was designed to handle such an assault without serious consequences to the environment to which we have become accustomed? I think it was summed up very nicely in the first half hour of "Wall-E" (2008). There was a very funny and satiric website presenting a backstory of sorts for that film, showing how the "Buy-N-Large" corporation had taken control of geopolitics and put consumerism above all regards for ecology.

I'm a man-made global warming denier, so I think they're all full of shit.

There's always been a natural cycle, "they" are just saying that man has speeded up this process, of course while they all fly private jets to the world climate change meetings! I cannot miss the hypocrisy of groups like Instinct Rebellion, who are gluing themselves to doors, roads etc , and shouting about the fact that they won't have a future, there will be no future for their offspring, when there was 218, 581 abortions in the UK in 2018, and 46,151,640 in the USA in 2016, funny how with climate change they are babies/would be offspring, but in other circumstances they are foetus's/a collection of cells. "Them in charge" are clearly are not bothered with it, 1 in 2 of us will get cancer for reasons unknown, there is an increase in dementia for reasons unknown, but enables them to eventually get all our assets off us, and heart disease isn't slowing anytime soon. Despite all the fundraising for Africa since the early 1980's they still don't have clean water and food, so population control is working just fine, and if not they will find a way to wipe some more of us off the planet to slow down climate change, whilst making a living off the serfs. By increasing and decreasing how much money (IOU's) circulate in the system, they control the labour force (serfs/plebs). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-14SllPPLxY.

Yes, I believe with https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w172wpkfdlqcgmv [url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w172wpkfdlqcgmv]https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w172wpkfdlqcgmv[/url] https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w172wpkfdlqcgmv
