Jeez, no wonder no one will talk to you.
Stick with name-calling.
So, if I say that there's a condition called high blood pressure, then
there can be one and only one cause for that condition? Try looking up
the word condition:
Truth is that no one really knows for sure what caused mass
instinctions or ice ages in the past. There has been a lot of
research and informed speculation but nothing that I'd describe as
conclusive. The one thing we know for sure is that past actions of
mankind had nothing to do with it. The other thing we know for sure
is that large numbers of people in and out of academia are competing
for research funding and they are not above releasing a dramatic press
release every now and then. Anyone who takes all of these dire
pronouncements as gospel needs to get a life.
My guess? Man is his worst enemy. First species with the ability to
annihilate himself. No natural limitations on breading, nuclear
weapons... can even putz with DNA and deliver it in a virus.
Think the particle accelerator might create a black hole, and it all
abruptly ends. Sure beats freezing to death as the government says the
natural gas is needed for war or the egalitarians. Sort of like Russia
in the early 1900's.
