Earth Apparently Able To Heal Itself From Man's Evil Deeds

In a story by LA Times writer Robert Lee Hotz, he states,

An international team of scientists reported Thursday that rising temperatures are steadily transforming the Arctic -- warming millions of square miles of permafrost, promoting lush greenery on previously arid tundras and steadily shrinking the annual sea ice.

Oh my, to quote REM, "It's the end of the world as we know it." but wait...before you sell your evil, greenhouse gas spewing vehicles, read this from the same article,

Yet the researchers also found new patterns of cooling ocean currents and prevailing winds that suggested the Arctic, long considered a bellwether of global warming, may be reverting in some ways to more normal conditions not seen since the 1970s.

I'm sorry, could it be that the earth just might be in the midst of a natural wobble in it's orbit which varies it's distance from the sun, thus changing temperatures? I hate to keep harping on these "chicken little" stories about global warming, but one week, it's "global warming isn't happening" and "warming is significant, water levels are rising" the next.
