I am not saying that mankind doesn't impact the environment. In fact I think that global warming detracts from real environmental issues like preserving the rainforest and endangered species and such.
You think that my previous post represents my feelings because you are just as religious about global warming as Daldoma is about jesus, and you are demanding the same appeal to authority he is.
The reality is: the earth's atmosphere is a very complicated and chaotic system which is extremely difficult to model with mathematics and computers. We know it changes substantially on its own anyway, so the burden of proof is on the nuts (you) who want to fuck with the lives of millions of people. Anyway, since it appears you like links, how about

The reality is that the models are predicting the data on which they were trained (a huge no-no in classification) and they still have this kind of error. In other words: we don't know. Since its in Nature I'm sure you'll accept everything they say without questioning.
