Plants and trees, for example, changed the Earth’s environment enormously over the millennium by consuming CO2 and emitting oxygen. Even inanimate objects and processes change the environment: volcanoes alter the Earth's surface and inject particulates and gases into the atmosphere, running water wears down mountains and cuts deep canyons, waves erode the shoreline. To demand that mankind not change the environment is to demand that mankind not exist. Every life form changes the environment by virtue of what it eats, what it emits, and what eats it.

The brilliant climate scientists were in universal agreement even as the Earth was cooling/had cooled, that it was warming/going to warm! The number who were predicting continued cooling was exaggerated by the media. Oh wait. Could it be that retrospect will allow us to say the same about warming? Maybe... Haven’t you heard?
