...and humans were most likely not responsible for the global warming event that caused the drought and near extinction, as they didn't have cars (or at least nobody has, yet, uncovered evidence they did).

Makes you wonder if all the money and time we're spending on controlling global warming isn't a complete political con, as global warming just happens anyway, whatever we do, due to other effects such as:

• The earth wobbling on its axis
• The passage of the solar system through the galaxy
• Solar flares
• cosmic rays
• Planetary alignment
• The Greek gods larking about
• combination of any or all of the above occurring at the same time
