How'd the last Ice Age stop if there weren't planes, trains, and cars creating global warming?

i think you misinterpreted my post - i actually invite discourse from all sides - not name-calling bullshit and snide remarks (though those are always fun, too) - to get a more complete picture from all sides - yes, it affects ALL - that's my point - i'd like to have an open and honest discussion from all viewpoints 

temp on Earth varies on alot of factors that aren't human based. There Earth's tilt, as well as its rotation around the sun changes.

Global Warming was just a ploy to keep masses of people living in fear. If we are scared of this then we would accept all changes that come with global warming. Also then they could enforce new, more, and higher taxes. This makes you wonder what else we have been lied to about.

 LOL at some of you guys with your tin foil hats and conspiracy theories. There is no denying the fact that our earth is going through a warming period right now. This is clearly evidenced by the fact that our sea levels are rising, glaciers are melting, and the opening of the Northwest Passage. Whether or not this warming trend is caused because of humans (carbon emissions, etc.) or because of natural global changes is certainly debatable.

We are fucking this planet up plain and simple. It's not rocket science. Advancements in technology come with a price. As a lot of these glaciers melt we are finding ridiculous amounts of toxins trapped in the ice. 

Offshore waste dumping has led to huge dead zones in the sea. Combine that with overfishing and it's starting to become a problem. If we keep killing off our barrier reefs then we will fuck up the ocean bad enough that it will take thousands of years to heal itself. All marine life begins in these reefs and they are dying off at a staggering rate. 

I admit that I contribute to the problem as much as anybody because I live a typical American lifestyle and I thoroughly enjoy a lot of the toys that we currently have. Sometimes I feel a lil bit guilty about leaving such a large carbon footprint because I feel as though I am being selfish to future generations. I would be willing to make a lot of sacrifices in my everyday lifestyle if others were willing to do the same. Problem is it's not a perfect world and that is NEVER gonna happen. Most people are selfish and greedy by nature and aren't willing to make such great sacrifices even if it means the preservation of our planet.

 Shouldn't that thing be a Manpig? I don't see any Bear in it. Correct me if I'm missing something.

Nope its manbearpig: half man, half bear, half pig.

 What part of it resembles a Bear? I'm not seeing it.
