You are an idiot if you don't think human activity is effecting the environment. Dangerous idiots plant their head in the sand and say nothing is happening.


I think you have put your finger on the core of the current GW phenom: guilt. We have been taught for too long that we are this big, huge, influence on the environment, which would be pure and balanced and unchanging without our polluting influence.

But nature changes all the time, sometimes radically. Man's self-importance makes him feel that his influence must always be predominant. Because if it is, then he has ultimate control, right?

If the science of the last century has taught us anything, it should be this: Reality is counter-intuitive.
