What if this is not the first time civilization has faced the threat of man made global climate disruption. What is in the distant past a civilization not unlike our own realized too late that there very existence was threatened by their own irresponsible actions. As a last ditch effort to save themselves they found a way to suck massive amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere and pumped it into the ground in the form of hydrocarbons. and those same reserves we are now burning are the failed attempt of these "ancients" to solve their climate problem. Just an interesting thought puzzle, maybe an alternate pre-history. Or who knows... there are anomalies in the historical record that suggest the presence of an advanced civilization, or technology that doesn't seem to fit our understanding of pre-history. maybe the great flood ( which appears in the folklore from around the world) was the result of global climate change. I'm sure most of my rambling did not happen but who knows. True or not the floods of the past marked periods of where civilization was torn apart, the same thing we are facing today if we cannot find ways to adapt to or reverse these trends then we too may become another the whispered legends of future civilizations, perhaps as a warning against displeasing the great goddess mother nature.
