I'm also very sure that nothing we humans do really has any major effect on the world around us. I mean nothing is really interconnected in the biological world. Interdependence and relationship, ha! I scoff at the idea. (Sorry I'm feeling a little sarcastic tonight) My real two cents, however, is that regardless of how much humans are contributing to the warming trend, there seems to be virtually no way that we are not having at least some sort of effect. Probably not as drastic and some predict and probably not as minor as others might say, but in the end, it all comes back to stewardship for me. Are we properly taking care of what we've been given? Not so sure on that one. Off my soap box. Buh-bye. At least it seems we’ve gotten to the point where everyone can at least agree that the earth is getting hotter.

This is not to say that it CAN'T be done -- just that most scientists are not competent enough with language to be able to present their work clearly. Jargon has become a crutch providing a common set of words that they can use without having to think about their meaning anymore. As a result they lose their ability to express themselves and their ideas without reliance upon jargon. But that is only my two cents.
