Maybe, but not my viewpoint.

I do think on curent evidence that pumping significant amounts of C02 is having, and will have, an significant effect on the global climate...it's just the magnitude of this I have a problem with...hence my cautious comments there.

That said, there is overwhelming evidence that a species can and does cause change to its environment (suggestion: read some of James Lovelock's work here).

To think 7 billion humans cannot have an effect on a globe just 12,700km wide beggars belief.
