"hmm 130k years, in human history is a long time but in geological perspective its not very long at all."

We have been around for a tick on the geological clock which has been running for a while, and we think we're smarter than most monkeys... tsk tsk

The climate has been fluctuating since forever. The geology of the Earth is constantly changing. The sun has been maturing.

I'm 51, and I remember the sky being sooo blue when I was a kid. 30 years ago a friend showed me some photos, and I said to myself then, man that sky used to be blue. Now it's just a washed out faded like my jeans blue.

I do not deny the weather is freaky deaky, but if it wasn't, if everyday was exactly perfect, I think a whole other group of scientists would be walking around in dirty robes with signs that say 'The end is nigh!"
