So you're okay with the idea of global warming--but only when humans don't have anything to do with it?

Mars too??!!!!
I need to look this up. Can you cite sources for that?

The long dormant inhabitants of Mars may soon wake out of their long hibernation as their frigid planet warms once more. #Rotcol

Here's one to ponder...if our galaxy is a rotating galaxy (which it is), then there is a force so strong and powerful at it's center that it would radiate from the center of the galaxy outward and it would be like an invisible disc. This disc would be the gravitational field which binds the galaxy together. The problem with it, or at least for us humans is, the disc weaves or tilts back and forth across its axis of the center or point of origin. If any of you are old enough to still have a vinyl record, pass a pencil through the center hole, spin the record as hard as you can and then feel the torque as it trys to sway from side to side on its axis.

The gravitiational field of our galaxy is doing the same thing (much more slowly of course) and we are now beginning to see the effects of the gravitational force of our galaxie wreak havoc with the gravitational force of our solar system and all the planets will eventually heat up due to all this gravitational friction as we pass through the plein of this gravitational field.

Eventually it will hit a peak and then begin to reverse the effects on our solar system and go back to "normal" for the next undetermined time period.

Peace

There is a 25,000 year cycle but this is for the Earth's pole in its wobble around the sun through the ages. It is called precession.
