It sounds like an interesting hypothesis, but then we have to look at man's impact on what was already existing populations of wild, methane tooting, animals that abounded before the advent of large human populations (and we emit our own levels of methane).. We wiped out millions of Buffalo, just in the 1800's and those levels have never returned.. But then again, we also raise millions of domesticated cattle... I won't disagree that there is a human based influence. However, when it comes to climate change causation, I think "nature" responds with a very dramatic "hold my beer".. There just seems to be a long-standing linkage between Grand Solar Minimums (which occur around every 400 years) and extreme climatic change spanning decades. There are many theories for why this is (cloud nucleation from increased cosmic rays, to volcanic emissions of ash and sulfur dioxide, again from cosmic ray perturbations of magma chambers), but the correlations are unmistakable.. And there is pretty much a 97% chance (based upon recent models of solar dynamos) that we're looking at an extended solar minimum that has ALREADY started, and should become very pronounced by 2020.
