Most of the earth is water, over 70%, plus there are VAST deserts, one larger than the entire United States, plus huge areas where this is either no human footprint, or it's tiny at best. Only the most self-adsorbed, ego driven could possible believe we have control of the entire planet. We don't ... but many of us think we do, kind of a sense of power. - Where I live right now, 10,000 years ago, was cover by a glacier about 100 ft. thick. - I just looked out, - it's gone, completely, with no one driving suv's, no nasty factories, and more importantly, no human intervention!!! - And that wasn't the only glacier to "come & go" on their own, just the last one... but, now that "we're here" - everything revolves around "us", or we like to think so. - There's no doubt about "climate change" - it's happening, as we speak, and it always has, and will continue, perfectly normal event.
