... So you're saying we're fucked and there's nothing we can do about it?
Great! Glad you cleared things up.

This is why so many still cling to the man made global warming theory... The thought that they have no control over their world and their lives is unthinkable.

Why is it a "no brainer"? Nature gives man some pretty handy ass kickings. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, drout, etc etc. If you ask me, it seems like we're more at the will of mother nature than the other way around.

Exactly, and data shows it has been like this before. Shit, when our planet was forming and was basically one hemmroidal volcano CO2 was all there was.
Other things people do not take into account that affects our planet is not always IN or ON our planet. Differing distances or changing orbits around the sun, changes in the sun itself, just because we THINK we know how the sun works or THINK the sun always behaves in a certain way doesn't mean it can't do something out of the norm or do something that is normal for it that just hasn't been observed yet.
I think mankind has to big an ego to think they have the power to change or destroy the planet. The planet isn't in jepordy like the green peacers would have you believe, WE ARE by our own actions. We aren't killing the planet, we are killing ourselves. The earth is not dependant on us for it's health and security, we are dependant on it.
