When it comes to "climate change", most of the focus is unfortunately on the degree to which human activity is involved. The fact is that the climate of the earth has been changing, drastically and continuously, throughout the history of the planet. Just 13,000 years ago the oceans were 360 feet(!!) lower. While nobody should have any doubt that pollution from human activity has a small influence on the climate (as well as many other harmful side effects), we should all keep in mind the big picture. The climate is going to change, drastically, in the near term (geologically speaking), whether or not our behavior is involved at all. If we were a forward thinking society, we would be putting our efforts and our resources into preparing for inevitable climate changes that will have drastic effects across the globe, rather than keeping our heads in the sand and believing that the climate will remain stable if we just cut our carbon output.
