Hello everyone (that would be you, David; I doubt anyone else is reading this).
David the Truthful has set the challenge: Is Global Warming caused my human activity? He must have already conceded the point that the climate is indeed warming, else this second argument would be pointless. That's a good start.
Now my task remains to show that we can indeed influence climate. I must be able to demonstrate that before I can demonstrate that human activity is causing (or influencing) global warming. I find it hard to believe that someone would say we couldn't change the climate. We can poison and dry up rivers, destroy wetlands, level forests, poison the soil, and level mountain tops. Given all this, it isn't unreasonable to conclude we could impact climate, too. Heck, we manage to destroy everything else, why not the climate as well?
Sorry, David, this isn't a good post. But it does set the stage for future debate.
