Actually, most scientists and activists admit that only extreme, drastic changes in lifestyle will make a difference one way or the other.
How did the humans do in those other extreme heating/cooling periods? Right, not very well. Are we supposed to try and not prevent a plague just because humanity has survived one before? The current warming cycle (the last 10,000 years or so) that the Earth is experiencing has led to our ability to expand and prosper. Not sure where you get the "extreme heating" as the last ten years have been relatively flat. Just curious, why isn't the Southern hemisphere experiencing any warming? |
 "We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we've done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace."
