ArizonaEnergy,
Here's what I've formulated for myself because of reading the "Daily Energy News" from ArizonaEnergy.org. I know there's so much more to understand about myself and the world I live in. But here's something I've recently "put together" for myself. It's like a big picture puzzle and here are some of the pieces.
Those same ice core samples covered a period of some 650,000 years and also showed CO2 at 30% higher than at any time in that 650,000 years and methane a whopping 130%. The rate of increase was 200% in the last couple of decades. I'm referencing:

Methane is rolling off the melting Russian Tundra and the melting permafrost of Alaska and the destruction of the Southern Hemispheres of forests. These huge pockets of gasses trap heat and interfere with the jet streams normal flow to create huge areas of drought (Ohio-Indiana, last year), Texas Oklahoma this year. Spain France last several years to where Spain has to import wheat where it has always been an exporter. Australia is dying from the Ozone hole admission of UV Rays and is in its third year of drought. Not mentioning parts of Africa (Kenya).
Meanwhile Japan and India and China just this week experienced snow and freezing weather where it has been hitherto been extremely rare:
China has evacuated 100,000 homes in the freeze zone. Eighty plus people died of the cold in Japan (remember their houses made of paper walls?) Such weather anomalies are aoccurring regularly around the world and cannot be ignored as one time aberrations.
The Greenhouse gasses couple with jet stream displacement AND the fresh cold water of the Arctic pushing the seacurrent further and further south from the North Atlantic is all moving more and more to weather and full climate changes. I personally believe signalled by the breaking down of the thermohaline current already underway as reported by scientists.

As human beings we tend to live in our microcosmic world as though they will remain stable despite what is occurring in the greater world around them. Of course they political venues keep the Popular Media from reporting much, that's why a website such as this is so important in getting news out. Of course the man-on-the-street is not given to seeing how melting north and south pole ice has much impact on their lives. And they won't see it until it happens in their own area--then they'll scream "Why didn't somebody tell us!"
The weather channel is taking their responsibilities seriously and have a new series starting this Sunday night called "It could Happen Tomorrow!"
I know, it's amazing that I actually have an opinion on these things. But I do, thanks a lot to your website. Because of it I am gradually gaining an understanding of the "whole". Thank you very much.
Well, this is my opinion. In my estimation, we are doing "Too little...too late." And it's time to find a better, stronger, personal balance with Nature and our Creator.

We do very much appreciate this feedback. It would appear someone understands why we are putting such effort into this project.
Thanks.
