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.
i'm sorry, WHEN it gets hotter. I used if incorrectly.

If you want a look at how humans are affecting the enviroment, you can look at how transportation has made it easier for cross-species-contamination of other eco-domes.

you can look at pesticides and bees! this is the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes down to it. The earth has been here for a long time with it's own order. Our civilization is obviously having an impact on that natural order. I agree with you that we don't know the reason of the global fluctuations, but i also think that these seemingly inconsequential actions on our part can grow into something that is completely out of our control, and directly into mother nature.

we dump co2 into the atmosphere, it screws shit up. mother nature has shown that it fixes itself by covering everything with ice, and starting over. humanity has survived this before..
