Thoughtful,
Good man (to concede the point you did) ... not saying I'm right but I do think it important to be able to concede points (theists seem to have great difficulty with that, mind you so do some atheists).
Yes I'm aware of what science is but it does pretty much work by consensus.
I also agree with Padriac ... I concede I may have over-emphasised the human contribution aspect though personally I think we are have a huge effect (see below).
Overall though I think it's worth bearing in mind one thing (which is where I see the religious pro Gw'ers come in, hollering about how we are killing the planet) ... we aren't killing the planet, we are killing some of the species on it and most notably we are potentially going to kill ourselves ... the planet will do just fine without us and in a few million years will probably evolve another species to take our place. We'll just be a blip.
