Absolutely can humans impact the climate. In fact, we've already done it. Mindmeld.. if you're going to respond to me, then at least READ MY POSTS. I never stated that humanity doesn't have an influence on climate. All I stated was that it's negligible in comparison to DEMONSTRATED HISTORICAL CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGHOUT MILLIONS OF YEARS. Sorry you're so short-sighted that you can't understand longer term climatic trends, or where we currently find our civilization within that history. But the clear historical fact is that, over the course of millions of years, planetary CO2 levels have transited between 3000 ppm and 180 ppm. We're currently at an historical low and it's quite likely we'll see a long-term shift of trend toward warmer global temperatures (minus tremendus efforts at geo-engineering the planet). But that's millions of years away and right now all you need to worry about is Cycle 25 and the potential for another "little ice age" (or even bigger one?). Hawk
