Yes, industrial activity has affected our atmosphere, but I don't believe entirely. Our ozone is doing better from banning Fluorocarbons, etc., yet we still have wacky weather: Katrina.
It may be a 'normal' period since such Hurricanes have happened before, but...
Our moon is moving away from us at a rate of 1.5 inches per year. How old are you? The Earth is also slowing down (over a minute/year last I read). Again, how old are you? Yes, take our sun's eleven year cycle to mind. Also, Earth DOES NOT revolve around our sun in a predictable circle. See a basic explanation here. You probably know that, ER, but there it is.
Speed = Time vs Distance
No, we shouldn't abuse our atmosphere, but we shouldn't ignore what's happening out there either.
