Actually, I am kind of thinking more of whether any living organism can cause "global cooling". I don't think so if I know the definition of 'cold'which is the absence of heat and if I know the definition of 'living'.

And IMO, any living thing we know of, at least I do, uses calories to sustain itself. And calories by our definition is a raising of temperature by a energy-producing substance..

Just thinking out loud..

I'm talking specifically about things like the rapid deforestation of the earth, all forests but particularly rain forests are the most crucial. Whatever is going on naturally, we are less able to sustain ourselves if we ourselves destroy Mother Nature.
