like we really have any real control over what happens.

Let's see here . . . we have a difficult enough time predicting the weather, especially more than three weeks out. What's makes the human species think they can predict a 10,000 year cycle? We've been keeping track of the weather for what? 2 - 300 years in euope (maybe a couple thousand years in the far east?).

Also, another report I read recently says that the middle ages may well have been hotter than it is now. I don't care if it's true or not . . . it's the point that no one really knows. Especially if we are talking more than a few hundred years ago, no one has a clue . . .

To assume that we can destroy this earth is idiocy, nothing the human species can do can really put a dent in this earth. Can we kill ourselves off? sure. That, comparatively, is easy. Short of the time when we can "control" a singularity will there be a time on this earth that we have the potential of truely wiping every living thing from this planet. Until then, we are just really messy houseguests. Either we will learn to clean up after ourselves, or we will go away . . . in either case, earth will still be around.
