But nothing in Earth's geologic record suggests climate change occurring as fast as is going on today - with one exception: the Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction, brought on by the Chicxulub asteroid impact. <br /><br />This whole issue caused me to finally lay out what I know about climate change.

But I have wondered if the global warming isn't, in part, due to a more vast climatic cyle. What I mean is that, ages ago there was the Ice Age. Maybe we're approaching another "Age" for the earth. And I certainly agree that we need to be responsible stewards of the earth--cleaning up the waste we spread forth, not over-consuming, companies being responsible, individuals being responsible. So, my question isn't about the seasonal changes, but possible broader changes over centuries, millennia. Like I said, I haven't yet watched that video, so maybe that answers my question, but I'd be interested in what you have to say about it.<br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790818646737129924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534598933965521300.post-15760962694262591562013-07-12T14:26:19.954-07:002013-07-12T14:26:19.954-07:00Hmmm.
