Maybe temperature rise causes a rise of CO2 instead of the other way around, and the dust is because earth dies every fucking time.

I dunno but it just screams planetary alignment to me. How else would you explain these cycles, planets occasionally pulling at orbits that is.

How else would you explain such clockwork consistency. We have the tides doing exactly that every day, look at what that little moon can do. I find that somewhat more of a possibility than a consumeristindustrialcapitalistdontyoudoitorelse-age every 1000 years or so.

So did he Assyrians 400-BC, and ok it's true they are all dead by now and I suspect natural causes but still.

Just did now. At least I am not howling to it, or CO2 for that matter. Mass attracts mass. Moon is mass, water as well but fluid, that and centrifugal powers -> tides

On a grander scale, wouldn't the same thing work for oceanic currents with a more prolonged pull, causing change in climate every now and then.

Moon also doesn't make a perfect circle around earth just as earth doesn't make a perfect orbit around the sun, once in a while (well when there is no full moon) the earth blocks the light the sun shines on the moon or am I wrong there, then it's mass pulling must as well get distorted, so there is such a thing as a full moon affecting the tides but there can't be such a thing as other planets altering oceanic currents? Are you sure you are arguing against me?

Incidentally, totally of topic, it's commonly accepted that woman's menstrual cycles are connected to the moon.
Someone pointed out to me recently though, why out of the many different primates, all with different length menstrual cycles, should humans (and orang-outangs) have been "chosen" to be the only ones whose average cycle matches the lunar cycle?
