Well this isn't just a cycle I am afraid to say...it's global warming and horrible pollution.

Hate to tell you this but global warming IS part of the cycle...global cooling is the other side of the same coin.
Global cooling was the malady dujour in the mid seventies, before your time, unless of course you're one of those professional college students. 30 years later and we're burning up, both the fault of mankind.
Read this newsweek article from 1975: http://denisdutton.com/cooling_world.htm
THEY CAN'T EVEN PREDICT THE WEATHER 3 DAYS FROM NOW! HOW THE HECK DO THEY KNOW WHAT IT WILL BE 10, 20 even 50 YEARS FROM NOW?

Let me make myself more clear, the global warming we are causing is not part of the natural cycle. A cycle (such as warming or cooling) takes hundreds if not thousands of years to happen. What humans are doing to Earth is much more extreme and the cycle is happening faster. Hate to tell you that....

Here's a more recent Harvard link, from this year. The link posted above is from 2003. I guess even the Harvard folks are at odds with each other over Global warming:

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its latest report, concluding that the world is warming and it is a near certainty the warming is caused by human activity.
The IPCC is a United Nations organization. I don't believe ANYTHING that comes out of the UN a noble idea that has been overrun with communists, socialists and dictators bent on the destruction of the United States.
You should have a look at the video posted above, many of the scientists were on the IPCC panel.
The thing about the global warming religion is that they disregard any information that doesn't fit into their template, not a truly scientific attitude.

and you're any different how?
take into consideration every other animal on this planet, then look at us. We are pretty different than everything else... nothing has produced this level of unnatural pollution. Things can adapt, but we can also help by not causing more of an issue. Why do we always wait until the last minute to believe that we have made more of an impact than most events in our species history?
