Whether or not humans have had any affect on the climate so far we
should be doing everything we can to be able to do so in the future
since it looks like change is inevitable.
If we don't learn how to manage the Earth it will definitely kill us off.
I certainly believe in being "good stewards." But
humans and their activities are barely
significant when compared to the forces that
control our environment.
In my lifetime I have witnessed some of the
awesome forces that "Mother Nature" can unleash
upon us. I traveled through the REGION a year
after Mt St. Helens erupted in 1980. It was a
humbling experience. I 1991, Mt. Pinatuba filled
the stratosphere with aerosols creating a global
layer of sulfuric acid haze.

The effects of the eruption were felt worldwide.
It injected large amounts of aerosols into the
stratosphere-more than any eruption since that of
Krakatoa in 1883. Over the following months, the
aerosols formed a global layer of sulfuric acid
haze. Global temperatures dropped by about 0.5 °C
(0.9 °F), and ozone destruction increased
substantially.
I have seen the aftermath of California
earthquakes and mudslides, and held glass doors
against the force of 160 MPH hurricane winds.
And I have witnessed the birth of the new religion of "environmentalism."
It takes a great deal of audacity to believe and
claim that humans are changing the global climate.
