Reasonable said: Of course we are. We'd need to produce 0% emissions of any kind not to. How much are we affecting it vs natural changes to climate over geological timeframes? Well that's were the argument begins. |
Pretty much agree with this. Our emissions are fairly small compared to nature itself and climate changes have been occurring with varying intervals based on a multitude of factors even before we were in existance. A single large volcano erupting can polute more than all the cars on earth for several years. Even massive human contributions such as agriculture and industry is small fries compared to the planet itself and it's regular regurgitation and farts.
One world ocean alone will polute several times more than all humans put together.

Volcanic activity releases less than 1% of the amount humans do per year. And while the amount humans release is low compared to the amount released naturally, it's the fact that it upsets the balance that exists in the carbon cycle.
