- Answer:
There are 6.7 billion people on the planet today.
There were only a tiny fraction of that number during the last major climatic change. - Reply to this comment
- The earth has never stood still, the climate has constantly changed and will continue to constantly change, there are signs of mass migrations through time without the people returning to their original sites, why? Most likely explanation is that the "climate" in their area became uninhabitable, by either intense heat or intense cold.

Yes, you are correct!
But what is difference between the past and the present? Why is it such a big deal now? - Reply to this comment
- The extreme view says 4.5 billion, the less extreme view says 1.2 billion, it all depends on the scientist. See scientists can infer what they will into their research in many different ways and have them all be valid with the statistics each uses.

The consensus is 4.5 billion years, no serious disagreement on that point. - Reply to this comment

- You people dont get it and never will, fear rules your thinking. The planet changes all the time, it has been doing it for centuries, if it hadnt we wouldnt find sea fossils in the deserts or in the mountains. Climate change theory is an attempt to stop nature. They are trying to prevent the need to migrate. To maintain what has been built since we cant take it with us.

- And if the EPA was really interested in protecting the whole enviroment, they would leave the wild fires alone, since they are interfering with the reproduction cycle of some plants that NEED to burn to go to seed.

- More important is what they found when it did, it wasnt always ice, people used to LIVE there and GREW FOOD. So that "climate" shifted at least once in the recent past. So why wouldnt it do so again.

- Climate change is bogus, the EPA has no real idea of where the level of anything should be, the hole in the ozone is man made but not by CFCs, by all the flames we keep shooting through it when we launch the satellites and shuttles.
