Climate change HAS happened before us, and it will happen while we are here, and after we are gone.
The trouble is, as it is happening, we are accelerating it, adding to it, tipping and influencing the normal balance, at an alarming rate.
We as a species have become so numerous on the planet, and our industrial actions so widespread across the entire earth, that we are influencing the very climate of the entire planet. And it's not in a way that will benefit us in the long run.
It's hard to believe, that one species can influence the entire planet. Yes, it is hard to believe.
