It's happening, and we are a part of it. You touched on the fact though that "Global Warming" is indeed a misnomer. That phrase serves to panic people into thinking that we are having vast, disproportionate, and devastating affects on the global climate...something i'm not necessarily willing to accept.
You said that: "these days, the only known source of CO^2 is humans". Is that true? I find that impossible to believe...we still have volcanoes today right? We still have many of the same effectors that existed thousands of years ago. >> Brian wrote: >> The way I see it, sometimes nature just happens. >> >> We seem to think we have some sort of control, for better or worse, over >> everything.
