This may not be the place to debate this, but I have read about
scientists' explorations into the long time frame - and there are
non-natural anomalies stemming from the beginning of agriculture 6,000
years ago, accelerated by the industrial revolution recently... a
change in the natural temperature fuluctuations... I think humans have
more to do with it, as there are several cycles, including 100,000
years and they coincide non-randomly. But I'm not enough of an
authority to quote, just something I read that made sense. I can look
it up if you like.
