You do realise that before man, the very animals on this planet were and are still contributing to the earths 'speeding up' process then any of us could achieve. Did you know for instance, the biggest contribution to the earths problems are infact termites. I was going to tell you to read up about it but to just help, here is the link to an interesting article.
Termites

Not more doom porn again. Let me put you straight especially about Siberia. A few thousand years ago Siberia had a moderate to tropical climate (look up the facts for yourselves) and mammoths thrived in the area.

Mammoths are cold weather animals. Siberia has not had a tropical or moderate climate during any time of homo sapiens.
The Pope is considered one of the world's most powerful people because of his diplomatic and cultural influence. He is also head of state of Vatican City, a sovereign city-state entirely enclaved within the Italian capital city of Rome.
The professor, deputy director of the Moscow-based Oil and Gas Research Institute, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said: 'We can now say more confidently about the process that led to the formation of the famous Yamal crater B-1. It was combination of a thermokarst (a form of pre-glacial topography) process and the migration of gases from the depth'.
It was also created from a pingo, he believes, something that experts initially doubted.
'It was a pingo or bulgunnyakh (mounds with an ice core common for Arctic and sub-Arctic regions), and then, due to the Earth’s heat flow this pingo starts to thaw and its half melted ice core is filled with gas that originates from the depth through cracks and faults in the ground. 'We know for sure that there is a fissure in the ground under this spot, probably even two intersecting faults - gullies around the spot confirm this. Through the cracks, natural gas got into the melting ice core, filled it and the pingo erupted. It was also heated by a stream of warmth coming from the bowels of the earth through the cracks.'
It is believed methane gas was largely responsible, though readings taken by the latest expedition showed no abnormal gas levels at the site.

My mistake.... Siberia was a moderate climate when the mammoths were about (not tropical). But their last mass extictions date from the late Pleistocene era and as research is now showing early man could have had a hand in reducing their numbers. I aint got no Phd just inteligence to look up and research the information which you could do just as easily.

It seems people seem to forget that we are here because nature put us here. This notion that we are doing wrong, only comes from those that seem to think this is somewhat not normal, well it is normal. We are here just as the plants and trees are here and we take what we feel we need to take. The 'equilibrium' as you put it, has never gone uneven. Think about the thousands of animal species that have died before we were here, dinosaurs alone. We just fill another pocket.
Also the notion the climate has changed, it hasnt. The poles are shifting. Different thing altogether.
