There have been several up and down cycles of the earth's average temperature, based on historical,records and ice thickness data from the Antarctic and Arctic.

And why are we obsessed with the developed world's 0.1% of pollution while ignoring the third world burning dung for heat and for cooking, or China's smog that's so thick you can't see a couple blocks away?
