I have no idea if climate change is just part of a normal cycle or if the human race is totally responsible for the change. It is probably a combination of both. However, my opinion is that if the world population continues to increase at the present rate, the planet is doomed. It is not a question of "IF", it is simply a question of "WHEN".

For centuries, the population was controlled by famine, disease, and war so women had to have 15 kids just to have a few that would live. Life expectancy was half of what it is today, at least in certain parts of the world. Now we are being told that no one should starve to death and no one should get sick and die. All the while women in some parts of the world continue to each have dozens of children. The result is a population explosion. Forests are being cut down so that we can grow more food, the oceans are being fished to the point where we are eating the fish faster than they can reproduce.

This cannot go on forever. Our world is already over populated for long term survival but little or nothing is being done to reverse the tide. Climate change is just a symtom, not the problem.
