The current climate shift is really drastic by comparison. In looking for a cause for such a dramatic shift, it is easy to see that the largest differance would be the introduction of industrialized nations.
It is foolish for people to believe that humans have not had an effect on the environment, globally as well as locally.

Wrong, read the ariticle I posted. Its not 100's of thousands of years, hell we had an ice age less then 10000 years ago.
EDIT: I can only get angry at this point with peoples lack of investigation of the issues making judgments on them. When someone can explain the last climate shifts, all in the course of written history, let me know, and then let the scientific community know cause they don't fully understand it either. Many think its due to fluctuations in solar energy so you might want to start with that.
