Basically ancient civilization in India was destroyed due to an increasing amount of heat which dried up the river system.


Would this not suggest then that global climate change is a process not caused by cars and factories but the earth's natural course?

Yes and no.

Humans have a huge impact on the environment as well. Just because there are natural climate shifts, we can not effort not to be environmentally conscious.

Look up history of Easter Islands. Fascinating stuff.

^This. I don't think any scientist argues that climate change is unprecidented, but rather we are accellerating.
