"The problem is the climate was changing long before modern industrial civilization arose" It will change after we leave the scene, too. This was our one big chance to release an agent of change. We can't do much about the orbit, or the positions of continents, and we can't change solar activity, but we can add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

It has changed many times, but this time our production of CO2 thru fossil fuel burning is steeply increasing and is directly a cause Conservative estimates of crude oil consumption since the beginning of drilling say the planet has burned about 125 billion metric tons.......if I assume a molecule of crude to be C10H12, burning would produce 378 billion metric tons of CO2 and 89 billion metric tons of water...... It is estimated that currently 45% of the CO2 produced stays in the air... I don't how much of the water remains in the air but it sure as hell isn't falling on Texas is it?.......
