Researchers here have discovered the pivotal role that volcanoes played in a deadly ice age 450 million years ago. Perhaps ironically, these volcanoes first caused global warming -- by releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Global Warming? Not for the next 50 to 500 years.

It would appear that we've been living the GOOD life and didn't know it - how very HUMAN of us! Jesus said "Take no thought for tomorrow for sufficient to the day is the evil thereof." And we took it to heart. It's been party-party-party for at least the last 150 years.
