I seem to remember back in high school biology class a couple chapters covering the subjects environmental adaptation, and survival of the fittest....now I'm not sure on this but I think that it's pretty much a proven fact that the planet Earth is in a constant state of change.
Along with that it also experiences cycles in it's climate. It's also a fact that there are no written records with the scientific understanding that we ,the modern man, can relate to that describes the global conditions for longer than a few hundred years, actually less than 200 on a global and accurate scale. So what is it that we can really base any kind of theory on?
I mean I remember in '78 most of the U.S. was hit with one of the largest blizzards anyone could ever remember people in cities and towns were snowed in and without power for days and weeks. During that time we were told a new Ice Age was right around the corner, then a few years past with moderate or warm winters. Then in '81-'82 there was another large cold winter and blizzard. People in Atlanta Georgia were literally abandoning their vehicles in the middle of the Interstates and walking home because the ice was so bad. Now before those times I don't really recall anything out of the ordinary, it was cold in the winter and warm/hot in the summer just like it was supposed to be as far as I was concerned as a kid. In the 1920's I believe it was, there was a flood around Lake Okeechobee in Florida that killed hundreds due to rains and I believe hurricanes causing a levee to be built around the lake, by the 50's there was a year the Lake reached the lowest level ever recorded. Then another 50 years past with average lake levels then it again reached a level that was the lowest in 50 years, the next year they had to lower the levels because they were to high, a couple years later it was at it's lowest level on written record again....of course you have to take into account as well that Man has a hand in dictating the lake's level and sometimes they lower the level thinking something is going to happen, such as the worst hurricane year on record which if not mistaken was the prediction for last years hurricane season that was actually one of the lightest seasons I remember.
Then there are the earth samples, I don't guess we should really pay attention to these, I mean how accurate can the earth be explaining to us what it's done over the last 20 or 30 thousand years?? It's a proven fact that there have been near regular cycles recorded in the earth itself.
We as humans will adapt to climate changes and changes in the geographical layout of this planet, even with a growing population. If the eco-nuts have their way we won't be able to as there will be no modern science or no modern technology of most any kind still in use. This is the very thing allowing us to make less of an impact on our surroundings and at the same time adapt to the changes taking place.
Just over the last couple hundred years there have been drastic changes in the geography in our planet, formation of new islands, extentions of land mass, disappearance of land masses etc etc etc and this will continue to take place until the earth starts to reach the age that it stops changing and starts turning into a dead planet but that is millions of years off saving us getting hit with a massive rock from space or the moon exploding, or any of the other things that could be considered global killers........I know I rattled on about all types of things, I hope you are able to follow along as it's pretty much all included in the same idea.....
