Everything runs in cycles of "average" time period between like
events. They can only predict based on the past, but they don't know
what really causes it.

Supposedly, we are overdue for an ice age now. One report I read said
that the melting of the ice caps it what triggers an ice age. So, this
global warming thing could be just a precursor to that event.

So, where you are, I guess you better start thinking about relocating
or opening a snowcone stand.

Heck, I'm gonna keep on driving as long as I can 'cause I heard a
scientist say that a major asteroid hits the earth every so many
thousand years.

What worries me is that tectonic plate movement is probably what
powers the system which makes earth habitable. Could all that oil be
the lube which makes it possible for the plates to move freely? What
happens when you lose all the oil in your engine? Oops!
