Or that it’s necessarily a bad thing.
I always like to talk about the ice age. About how first there were no glaciers anywhere near Long Island, NY, then there were glaciers on Long Island, then no glaciers.
Then I ask them how the humans changed the environment to result in glaciers on long island and how they changed the environment to get rid of the glaciers.
Then I say, the environment changes all the time and humans have nothing to do with it.
Not a Geologist are you?
I think that I’m right when I say that
1) there were no glaciers on Long Island
2) then there were
3) then there weren’t

from the above link
“The most recent advance came through about 24,000 years ago (Lowell and Dorion, 2001), and that ice sheet spread rapidly as far as the southern edge of Long Island, and also far out into the present Gulf of Maine. Because it has been only 13,000 years or so since the ice left in the last recession, some people think the Ice Age might not be over, and that the great glaciers could advance once again within a few thousand years (see this news release). Such blocks of time are only the blink of a geologist’s eye in the great calendar of earth events.”
When the people pushing the global warming theory can explain how humans caused the ice to first cover, and then recede from, long island, ny, then I’ll listen to them.
