No, media is late to the game. I've been listenning to the scientists who have been saying this for decades, and who are saying it louder and louder as things get worse and worse. Yes there have been ice age cycles in the past, but we are also accelerating things a lot. Greenhouse gasses from life are a cyclical system, but humans are defossilizing huge amounts of carbon and dumping it into the atmosphere, which is not part of the cycle except when a major asteroid has hit the planet and has caused mass extinctions. Only this time, we're making our own. I am really worried about what has been said recently about the effects of ocean warming, and the general health of the oceans, and of birds and other animals, and eventually us (though we're the only ones who may deserve to be extinct...).
