Except for the fact that we can consciously control what we do what is the real difference? The effect is the same. And my point was to demostrate that the earth is not as fragile as you portray it. If it was it would have broken long before we came around.

Tim, I don't think our science is capable of fine tuning or amending the environment....so if we can consciously control things doesn't me we are able to play God.

Further I believe the environment is very fragile. When the weather turned colder by only a few degrees, it is believed an ice age followed and wiped out the dinosaurs....a whole species. Frankly, I don't want to f*ck with mother nature.

The difference between you and I is that I am not willing to risk pushing the situation much further...

I'm not willing to risk what you would call "not pushing the situation much further" would entail.


I think we have pushed too far already and future generations will suffer for it.
