Then a huge Volcanic eruption happened and (according to scientists), mankind almost went extinct. It sent the Earth into a basic super freeze overnight that lasted for 6 years. The total population of humans was down to 20,000 people.
Scientists think that only the smartest survived and that was the era that our brain capacity as a species rose.
Anyway, the Earth warms and cools constantly throughout time.
And yes...sometimes it's very abrupt.
If the Earth warms as slowly as it is right now...I think it would be a GOOD thing.
One way or another the Earth's climate was NEVER going to remain stable. It's always changing.
The worst possible scenario would be another Ice Age.

this comment is why you fail. Humans cannot & will never yield the collective power to stop how we effect the climate. to even try would be a total waste of energy cause someone else will cheat, human nature. & theres no proof what we're doing is any threat whatsoever to our continued existence. overpopulation & nuclear terrorism are far greater existential threats to mankind than a melting glacier. get with it, man!
you should worry about the islamic bomb. look how the instability & irans ambitions converge somewhere in the next 2 generations.
