@thalweg - I am trying to understand what you wrote - aren't you adding to what you call confusion? You wrote not a single sentence which is logical nor clear and I have no idea what you are intending to say except some subdued mumblings that 'it is not our fault' - the excuse any small child makes, when faced with disaster. and anthropogenic climate change is not a hypothesis, but it is not necessarily proven that humans are the only ones causing or contributing to climate change; however, it is possible to come to some conclusions about the contributions humans are making to climate change if you simply look at the numbers of one particular species on the planet (us) and how far it has out-competed, killed and destroyed other species. It stands to reason that us/we/humans also have an effect on the climate; we have created an earth which is out of whack big time - but there could be long-range changes happening as well, which are not caused by us. We cannot do much about that, but we can change our behaviour and we must change our behaviour - big time!!!
If we had stayed 'in the trees' 'the woods' maybe just remained herders and agricultural critters, we would not have made the huge advances which have enabled us to inject, adorn, imbue almost every moment of our lives with an object, which is strictly speaking not a necessity of life.
We are a wasteful species, completely uncaring about the rest of creation - and we do deserve some form of 'pay-back.
If I believed in myths, I would say 'Mother Earth/Nature' is giving us a jolly good spanking and will continue to do so and climate change is part of that punishment. Take care Taurisk
