      Yes! The earth often goes through temperature cycles and ice ages. These don’t just happen randomly – the contents of the atmosphere change and keep in less of the sun’s heat.
      .
      Manmade things like pollution (and if nuclear bombs ever get dropped) also change the atmosphere. Chernobyl released radioactive dust into the atmosphere, which moved a long way across the planet, too.
