The problem with 'global warming nuts' is that they do not fully understand the fundamental principles of global warming. Rather, the talking heads do not fully describe global warming correctly. We are presented with images of polar bears on melting ice caps, but most of the photographs are deceptively cropped from the original production.

Do not be fooled, global warming is real. Global cooling is also real, as the earth has been through several of these phases. There was a global warming period during the Medieval times known as the Medieval Warm Period, as well as a Little Ice Age (LIA). The LIA was actually three separate cooling periods that were separated by slight warming periods of their own.

Our scientists may have misjudged the latest warming period, which means that we may actually start experiencing a global cooling in the near future. To be honest, it's all up in the air because no one really knows what the earth is thinking or what it is going to do next.

One of the trickiest parts about the LIA periods were that sometimes the summers were quiet warmer than usual. Basically, the environment goes on the fritz every once in a while when the warm gets hot and the cool gets cold. There will be a larger standard deviation from normal temperatures on both ends of the spectrum.

Oh, I wasn't offended at all. I'm just interested in studying the various changes that our Earth goes through periodically. As with many facets of life, the problem with scientific predictions is that in most cases, the human life span is too short for anyone to have lived through and experienced an issue firsthand.

Take the Dust Bowl of the 1930s for example...soon, there will be no one left alive from that time period. Luckily, we know that humans were the main cause for the Dust Bowl, so that should hopefully be enough to keep us from nearly killing ourselves in that fashion again.

Many civilizations have wiped themselves from the face of the Earth by failing to do things that we now take for granted, like rotating crops to keep from destroying the topsoil.

Although, there are a lot of environmental issues that we should really be keeping an eye on in our world. There are several lakes and rivers drying up in Africa, but it seems that this could also be something that happens from time to time, historically speaking.

We're all a bunch of termites compared to Mother Earth. I don't believe there is anything man could do to destroy the planet. Even a nuclear holocaust would fall short of destroying it. It might kill us, but not the earth.

There's this being called God. He is Mother Nature's boss, and he'll (no pun intended) have the final say after the 1000 year reign.
