But who is to say that this is "wrong"?
Seems like normalcy, within a dynamic system.
The Solar system is always changing, that's for sure. I read a story earlier that Jupiter is getting one of it's stripes back. It wasn't really missing, just obscured by higher, and lighter colored clouds. But it does show that things change all the time. And it shows that our perception of things can be easily obscured, or even misinterpreted.
We barely understand the various solar cycles. Some might be so long that we haven't been around long enough to see them repeat. If they do repeat, Occasionally they may coincide. What happens then?
This is harder than predicting the weather.
Sure its normal for everything including temperatures to fluctuate. But I think if you graphed the changes over the last 20 or so years and using the data we have, projected it into the future, we would find ourselves living on a planet 10 times the temperature before long and we would barely recognize our other planets.
Just look at your local bee population. When they go, nearly the entire food chain goes for us humans. Ask yourself when was the last time you see a bee doing its thing. I havent for a long time.edit on 25-11-2010 by rajaten because: (no reason given)

Mankind has faced extinction twice actually.
First a small group was left around 230.000 years ago and around75.000 ago when lake Toba erupted numbers declined up to the number of tigers in the wild.
Every change of era was cataclysmic actually with the big permian extinction and the dinosaur extinction that are the most familiar

Of course they wouldnt tell us. They want to reduce the world population any way they can. The more ignorant people are, the more people will die. This equals less mouths to feed or foreign armies to worry about.edit on 25-11-2010 by rajaten because: (no reason given)
