  1. Old Wisdom: The earth's core is heated by radioactive isotopes that decay over time, releasing energy as it decays into other isotopes some that are stable and some unstable isotopes that have lower energy to release; the earth is cooling over time. The sun as present the sun is in a cooling period. All three Milankovitch cycle periods Axial tilt (obliquity) is in a cooling trend that will last until year 11,800 CE. Axial precession cycle of 26,000 years is in a 13,000 year cooling trend. The orbit over the next 100,000 years is becoming less eccentric, more circular, circular eccentric orbits have a cooling trend. Essentially, the next 50,000 years all things being equal, we should have glaciation begin again. All factors, we should be cooling in a very slow fashion. Instead, overall temperatures are increasing and at a rate that is very fast. Too fast for many life forms to adapt, and they'll go extinct. And likely too fast for most humans to survive as weather patterns cause drought in some areas, and massive flooding in others leading to crop failures, economic disaster, and famine. Already happening in Syria through the Middle East, and North Africa; hence so much turmoil in that area is largely brought on by massive crop failures. The speed in which the climates change mean abandoning coastal cities as well causing massive migration of people at the same time of food shortages. We should be in a very slow cooling phase. But we're not. And the apparent factor is the increased greenhouse gasses especially the over 400 ppm CO2 levels which haven't been that high since 2 million years ago. Such a sudden increase will cause a change in climate that is not in hundreds of thousands of years, but in decades. And that's where the problem becomes. It's human contributed, and it's that increase rate of change that is the issue.
