Climate Change and Mankind

We've had climate change a long, long time.  Its called weather.  It changes daily.  In fact, its almost impossible to forecast what it may do in two days much less two years, or two centuries.

Planet earth has been here a long, long, long time.  Much longer than mankind.  If the lifetime of earth was represented by the height of the empire State Building in New York City, then mankind's lifetime would be represented by the thickness of a thin dime atop the building.  There's little mankind can do to alter the pulse of Mother Earth.  She has a way of absorbing and cleansing herself from volcanic eruptions that spew mega tons of ash into the sky, earthquakes that rip gigantic holes in the seams of earth, and from man made oil wells that spew millions of barrels of oil into the oceans.  She is much more adaptive than man.

Climate change is not the greatest danger to mankind.  It is mankind itself.  Mankind will obliterate itself from the face of earth when some mad evil person finds a way to destroy it all in the name of some imagined passion, and Mother Earth will just belch and move on.
