" ...mankind has the ability to affect the earth's climate..."Indeed. Mankind has been trying to effect climate change since the industrial revolution. Go back 75-150 years & check out how we were poisoning the atmosphere. There were thousands of steam locomotives worldwide, belching out all that coal smoke. Industrial factories had huge smokestacks putting out huge plumes of pollution, espicially around steel mills. Every municipality burned their garbage. Steamships roamed the seas with huge black exhaust trails. Yet with all that, the polar ice caps were intact w/o noticable shrinkage. Winters were cold & snowy. Summers were hot & steamy...etc The point to all this is that with all this mankind contributions to poisoning the atmosphere, global warming didn't exist in the then here & now sense. Now the ice caps are shrinking. Global warming is happening, but how much we have to do with it to me is still debatable.Were cleaning up our act (somewhat). All I described before dosen't happen anymore. In addition no more Freon. What a big plus! Heres the bottom line, mankind or not, The natural order of things cannot be discounted. Like "professor" George Carlin said...the earth has been around 4+billion years & has a way of taking care of itself |
