And herein lies a root of the problem. We can work to understand the here and now, and even the not-so-distant past. However, it's simply not possible to obtain all of the answers of the past simply by looking at a few parts of the past -- say, like studying ice core samples.

It is also well-known that the tectonic plates are always on the move, albeit very slowly. Still, there will come a time when any hints to the past will go underneath another plate and be ground into non-existence. Much of the current sea floor used to be dry land. Most all of our mountain tops have signs of marine fossils. ....How are we supposed to look back beyond a certain point when we cannot be certain of the evidence we think we find?

I "ABSOLUTELY AGREE" that we are polluting the planet. I also believe wholeheartedly that no matter how hard we try, it will take much, MUCH more effort on our part to come close to equaling the damage of time and natural change.

One interesting tidbit I'd like to throw out concerning oil/gas pollution:

There was once a time when there was SO MUCH oil everywhere that people and livestock would often get caught in pools of the stinky stuff. Oftentimes these pools would start to burn, whether by lightning or wildfire or ???, but the point is oil and gases were literally everywhere, from the surface and going down into the earth. When the oil would burn naturally, I'm fairly certain it wasn't burning under such strict pollution standards as we have today. Likewise, it may very well be that Yellowstone has not erupted yet (as many scientists think it's LONG overdue) simply because one of the primary catalysts is lessened. That missing catalyst there and many other locations in the world would be the oil and gas that we've pumped out of the ground and released slowly rather than in lump-sum amounts.

I honestly have no idea if or how much difference that tidbit may make, but it has long been a curious thought in my pea-brain. I think it would likely be better for these raw fuels to be burnt in lump-sum manner rather than in a continuous fashion as is "normal" today, but I have a very difficult time even listening to the hype put out by shysters such as Al Gore. If he lived what he preached, I might at least have some respect for the man. But........ As for those of you who have participated in this thread, I offer a hearty "Thank You". It's always nice to hash over such thoughts and ideas, so long as it is conversation and not argument. Thanks for keeping it civil.
