During the Earth's existence, weather changes have occurred that seem almost inexplicable. Without documentation of these events, there is no way to know exactly what caused these strange weather changes or to what extent. So many people see the melting polar ice caps and automatically blame pollution and people's negligence. If it is true that most people do not care for the environment and have little respect for it, is it possible that negligence is just a factor and not the driving force? There have been people on this earth for a long time, the earth being 46 billion years old, the things we have done to alter it have caused some problems. The need to expand, to build better, bigger, more powerful things has become humanity's goal and the ruin of the pure land that once existed. Many explanations can be given for the recent strange weather and general global warming. Depending on the source or who you interact with, too many people's end times responses are coming out of the mouths of those who haven't taken the time to understand what's going on in the world. To fully understand what is happening to Earth we need to go back and study what has already happened. Ice ages seem to be a pretty broad clue to weather activity from times long past. Pollution may be a catalyst for global warming, but what is happening is that the world is changing just as it has many times before this generation existed. For the world to function, there are some cycles that continually occur that may not be understood. The water cycle occurs daily and at all times of the day.
