Who knew this would become a environmental thread?

I really don't know where I fall on the scale of belief.

I certainly believe we are in a period of global warming and I believe humans are contributing to the problem.

I tend to believe of contribution is in the 5-10 percent range. This is as nuch based on over-population as anything. If we do everything environmentalists want we would only reduce our effect by half.

I also believe that humans are a part of nature and we are subject to the same natural rules that apply to rain forest growth and cutting.

If we become or have become a big problem nature will deal with us by plague or natural disaster. The why of that is no more mysterious than increased forest growth on one side of the world to compensate for loss on the other side.

In the end we will persist as a species and eventually solve the problem by getting off the rock.
