"We as humans have contributed more pollutants, particles, and aerosols to the atmosphere in the last 100 years than the Earth released in equal amounts over a few thousand."
I'll have to call you on this one. A single volcanic eruption can eject more particulate matter and "greenhouse" gasses than mankind has produced throughout our entire history. Forest fires and range fires, until recent history, burned uncontrolled for millions of years before mankind decided to manage them. The Earth's climate has always fluctuated. Antarctica used to be a tropical forest. The Gobi used to be a forest. Now one is desert and the other a frozen wasteland. These changes occurred well before the Industrial Revolution. To blame mankind for "Global Warming" is about the same as blaming ants for continental drift.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
