Blip,
Yep, that is exactly what he is saying...
we as humans really do not have the abiity to influence the environment.
Volcanoes put out far more toxic waste into the atmosphere than humans...should we pass legislation banning them?
I was told recently that one minutes worth of eruption on Mt St Helens put more pollution into the air than the past 100 years of human efforts.
Think long term, the fossils you see probably thought they could change things too...but they died out 100's of millions of years ago.
When you can get two boffins to agree whether there really is global worming or not, then I'll listen to this doomsaying.
BTW I had a question posed recently. Here goes....
If, as we have all been told, the hole in the ozone layer is caused by CFC's being released.
Why then, when the major polluter is the northern hemisphere, is the hole over the southern hemisphere?
I would really like to know the answer to that one...even if you ignore the rest of my disjointed ramblings.
