Why are the Glaciers melting and leaving behind valleys that were once covered in tens of feet of ice? [/QUOTE]

The whole continent of North America was once covered in ice. This fact dismantles the correlation you're trying to make

You are nuts if you think this statement dismantles what I was saying. That is plain nuts.

While the earth has been warming up over the last few thousand years you forget about the 1300 when the little ice age hit. That had a huge impact on human populations. I think that the plague wiped out 1/3 of the existing human population in that century.

Much of the ice that was in the glaciers was laid down during that last little ice age and that was only 700 years ago. Duh!

I am very much aware of the earth's historical cycles having studied the geological history of the earth from the Cambrian Time to present. I am aware of the fact of continental drift such. I spend an entire year studying the history of the earth. I am also aware of World History.

Your analysis is flawed in many ways. Your logic defies reasoning.

Bottom line if that during the Jurassic Period we didn't have 7 billion humans on this earth to protect. Yes the earth runs in cycles but it's also true that those time cycles are related to our orbit around the sun. Every ten thousands years the cycles has seemed to repeat itself. But the rate of change has never been so fast as it is to day. The rate of change in global average temperature was slow slow slow. It was not rapid like today.

The rate of change of temperature is the key. I am well aware that the ocean levels have risen and fallen by 100's of feet. I know that an inland sea formed over what is now the Midwestern USA.

And the vast majority of the Scientist on this planet are telling us that man's activities of burning thousands of tons of coal are effecting the atmosphere.

It's so obvious to anyone without a bias that it's like a giant zit sitting on your nose. It's impossible to not see the effects that man has on this planet.

And if that is not enough to convince you then I wish you could get a ride on the space shuttle and observe the earth from space. From there you can see the burning rain forests in South America.

It's only reasonable to figure out that if it took 200 million years to produce the coal and oil that's buried in the ground combined with the fact that we are burning up all that coal at an EVER INCREASING RATE that something has to give. Taking the trees down and planting more crops then burning them as fuel is going to increase the amount of Free CO2. You take all that Carbon that was tied up under the ground in the form of coal and then release it into the atmosphere in such a relatively short time period and there is no place for it to go. There's not enough algae in the waters or trees on the earth to use up all that excess CO2

And it's a PROVE SCIENTIFIC fast that CO2 gas in the air causes a green house warming effect.

To deny that scientific fast is not only a political mistake but it's fool hardy.
