And ,,, he didn't even mention thermonuclear war!!!!!! Personally, I think ticks and mosquitoes are colluding to become the master race. We're whats for dinner. This is your brain ..... This is your brain on (enter your own disgusting noun).

The roaches are getting smarter... soon we will be working for the roach empire.

It amazes me that some folks who think they are smart think that somehow everything is "stationary" and if it weren't for man kind would never change.
There is no question that mankind has an effect. But as in all things, species are pretty adaptable.

True there is a lot of ignorance - ants and termites emit around 10 times more CO2 than all human activity. So they are to thank for the greening of the planet too.

About 40 percent of this is out of our control, Gornitz says, because the city sits on land that is slowly sinking thanks to larger geologic forces. But the other 60 percent is due to burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests—aka climate change—which is melting icebound water on land. Eventually, that water flows to the sea. It's always interesting how, when an idea becomes a paradigm, it rolls off the tongue with nary a question or a reference.

Volcano eruptions in Chile. Massive earthquake in Nepal. Obviously the earth's crust is reacting to expansion caused by the catastrophic C ocean and air temperature increases which in turn have been caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Oh, and the unprecedented loss of Arctic ice is allowing for further expansion of the crust and exacerbating the problem. (This last for Mr. Graywolf). Truly, we humans have doomed not only ourselves, but the planet, and maybe the solar system. We deserve to die for our climate sins.

So, as we observe the natural happenings of an interglacial period, we blame mankind. Interesting hypothesis, but is there any scientific evidence of this interglacial being a whole lot different than previous interglacials? And the Trillion dollar question is still out there with no answer.........WHY are we HAVING a glacial period? ? The Billions of years of earth's history show this is an anomaly.

There was one interesting reply on this site .... I believe I remember Astromet referring to similar relationships. Comment by gail combs 2015-04-27 05:18:10 Earthquakes and volcanoes and climate change ARE ALL LINKED! But only by the sun. EGU2015 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2015/session/18724Relationship between major geophysical events and the planetary magnetic Ap index, from 1844 to the present Michele Casati (1) and Valentino Straser (2) (1) Altopascio (Lucca), Italy, (2) International Earthquake and Volcano Prediction Center, Orlando -Florida (USA) Abstract In this study, for the first time, we compared the annual magnetic Ap index, taken from original sources,from 1844 to the present day [Svalgaard,2014], with: i) sixteen large volcanic eruptions of index VEI5 + recorded by, Smithsonian Institute (Global Volcanism Program), ii) three sets of the volcanic aerosols data [Ammann et.al, 2003][Gao;Chaochao;Alan Robock;Caspar Ammann,2008][Traufetter et.al,2004] and iii) eight major earthquakes of a magnitude between 8.7<M<9.5, which occurred from 1900 to the present. We observe that the twenty four major geophysical events which occurred were in proximity to two specific thresholds, or limits, of the annual planetary Ap index. Specifically, in the downward phase of the planetary Ap index, under the annual value of 7 or, in the phase when the annual value exceeded 22. We identified a total of 14 transitions (eight in the solar minimum and six in the solar maxima) each with a period of about two and a half years making a total of almost 35 years of activity during the 169 years under review. During the 14 transitions 18 of the 24 major historical geophysical events occurred from 1844 to the present. Analysis of data shows a clear link between the electromagnetic (EM) dynamics recorded in large historical solar minima (Maunder, Dalton or solar minimum 1880-1920), the large solar maxima (solar cycles 19, 21 & 22) and the energy released during large geophysical events [Casati,2014]. The physical process of solar-terrestrial interaction, also reveal a deep and intrinsic relationship between the EM dynamics of the inner solar system and the temporal occurrence of major geophysical events. The references in scientific literature, in support of this work, are numerous: from empirical evidence, that we find in the late nineteenth century – early twentieth century, to more recent references. Some of which are: [Casey,2010][Charvátová, 2010][Choi, 2010][Duma; Vilardo, 1998][Khachikyan et al,2014][Kolvankar,2008][Kovalyov,2014][Mazzarella;Palumbo,1989][Stothers,1989][St?reštik,2003][Sytinsky,1987,1989, 1998].
