About ten or twelve years ago, I wrote a term paper on global warming. If past patterns hold true, right now the Earth is nearing the end of a 10,000 year warming trend, and within 2,000 years will enter another mini ice age.
At least once in the past, the Earth was some 14 degrees warmer than it is now, and scientists are going berzerk because the average temp rose a degree or so in the last century.

After you have subtracted all of that, the area left where man MIGHT have an effect is really very small.
My argument in the term paper was not that man had absolutely no effect on climate, but that if man did it would be miniscule.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
