What many of you imagine to be a political agenda is that people have never had the technology we have now. With this technology, we can do damage to the environment on a scale never witnessed in the past. We can deplete nutrients from the soil; we can fill the sky with dark clouds; we can cause radiation that annihilates parts of the world for thousands of years. On Earth, there are witnesses to all of these problems in various places.

The basic idea, without going into textbooks for it, is that the ice age sucks and the polluting technology that we have will probably affect it. The odds are that it will start earlier, last longer, and kill more people. This is based on the impact of technologies that increase the number of toxins in the atmosphere, soil, and ocean. While those toxins occur naturally, there are more of them now than have ever existed. If I have to point out that toxins, by their very nature, are bad, then you need to read more academic material.

Is it a political agenda to worry that people might die? It isn't an agenda when we send firefighters into buildings, so why is this just junk science? Of course, every scientist is human and potentially guided by questionable moral positioning, but that doesn't stop the ice age from coming. Even if the goal of someone's research is to prove for certain that an ice age will wipe out human populations and will millions in awards, I think we need to consider this as a real threat in a few generations or less.

All I'm saying is that there is human influence everywhere, so why is it so hard to believe that human influence can affect the very cycles the Earth experiences?

It's only a matter of time before a supervolcano erupts or a solar flare hits os or an asteroid impacts the planet the pushes the "reset" button on the world.

In the final moments before the catastrophe, the glabal warming alarmists will realize they wasted their whole lives instead of living life to it's fullest!

"Oh Snap!"
