It seems like every time I turn on the Discovery Channel, there's some program on the ice age or the globally hot and muggy dinosaur times of old, or various extremes of climate from the planet's past. These programs are very harmful in my view, because they undermine what we now know to be true:
So knock it off, Discovery Channel! You're diluting our focus and determination, by dragging up all this irrelevant ancient history. As if vast climate change could ever occur without it being directly our fault! The comfort of the globe itself is at stake here, so cool it with the off-message rhetoric.

1) the natural state of affairs is two polar ice caps, hot summers, cold winters, just such as we've always known it.
2) since that is the natural state of the world, any change in that state is due to humanity's direct and harmful influence.
