Our known historic records only cover written records regarding climatic changes. There have been and are many factions that uphold the notion that we the citizens of the world are responsible for the climatic changes that affect all of us. These  issues are correct up to a point. While we as people have contributed to some of the air quality and global warming but the unwritten and unknown historic records could give a different picture. The earth before people has possibly gone through this climatic shift before. Even with the advent of a written or pictorial record we have limited information. The first cave pictures and other pictographs just depict the information on climate as known then and these  pictorials could be possibly incomplete and erroneously translated. I am just making an observation to say nature has been in command of this planet for Eons and the events we now see could have occurred several to many times before our existence and even after with no written or depicted record. These events are evident in some cases by geological records in the fossils, rocks and existing traces in various parts of the world. Geologists and  natural systems explorers have not all agreed on this but each sector or faction have made discoveries that point to the current events have occurred before in early earth history.  In considering the global warming argument, how much real fault do we have in this situation? The recent firestorms in the west should give rise to the idea that nature in its naturalness used periodic burning to improve the  land and create new growth. The native Americans understood the value of this and used that method to good effect. Now the folks who have essentially encroached on natures natural “burn” areas are feeling the brunt of misconceived residential location. This error in judgement was shown in the Mt. St. Helen’s disaster, the Hawaiian islands burn and the plains fires of the west. having the freedom to build or reside among the natural areas is fine but is it worth the risk? No amount of greening up will eliminate all of the natural processes set in motion by nature eons ago.
