EARTH

There is no such thing as global warming, solar warming maybe. It goes in cycles. As for Earth "healing " itself...man you're scaring me.

First let me purpose the theory that a meteor impacted the earth, causing such a dust cloud that it blocked out the sun for so long the dinosaurs starved to death.

Secondly, let me introduce the effects of a massive volcano eruption in the 1800s.

VOLCANO

Long-term effects

The eruption produced spectacular sunsets throughout the world for many months afterwards, as a result of sunlight reflected from suspended dust particles ejected by the volcano high into Earth's atmosphere. British artist William Ashcroft made hundreds of color sketches of the red sunsets half-way around the world from Krakatoa in the years after the eruption. In 2004, researchers proposed the idea that the blood-red sky shown in Edvard Munch's famous 1893 painting The Scream is also an accurate depiction of the sky over Norway after the eruption.

And its been shown that Yellow Stone National Park is in the middle of a large Volcano crater that has had massive eruptions.

And we all know about Mount St. Helens. So, if the earth wasn't capable of cleaning its atmosphere, our skies would look like those of Venus or even Jupiter.
