Hmm so gigatons of nuclear weaponry dosen't count then? Yea that dosen't have the power to change anything.

Seriously, regardless of who or what is causing this, natural or not - it's going to start affecting human civilization in the next 100 years or so. Millions of people living in low-lying coastal areas for instance. So Trying to cooperate with the planet's natural cycles instead of aggrivating them or ignoring them is in our best collective interests, no matter which school of thought you subscribe to. We depend on the planets ecosystem to survive every day. Why continue to make the problem worse, even if we're not "sure" of it?
