still Rob,today the single largest contributor to greenhouse gases remains natural, volcanoes. The earth is still the largest polluter as it always has been..
further the earth's orbit and rotation shifting fully out of the last ice-age into a warming period are far more impacting to climate than fossil fuel burning. Even our entire history of burning fossil fuels and wood and of course the equally devastating results of our agriculture (slash and burn, soil depletion, pesticides/fertilizers, mono-cultures, etc etc) is only a drop in the bucket to what nature is doing BUT the issue is that nature has produced circumstances which are so close to edge that even a drop in the bucket can knock it over towards the worst..
we must definitely abate our own pollutions and devise strategies to cope with the results of both natural and man-made disasters..
but lets not get caught up in the debate, rather lets just get to work dealing with our reality. The earth is warming, the ocean is warming, the weather is changing, and we must adequately deal with these consequences while striding not to make matters even worse..
