Earth.

Yeah, we can create pollution, but the global climate is such an enormously massive and complex system that humans could not alter it unless we devoted every resource we have to doing so.
The climate changes due to solar cycles and other natural factors.
Why did the Ice Age end?
Was it because the primitive humans of the time built too many campfires?
I think the answer is, “No.”
The climate changes due to natural cycles.
Right now, I’m freezing my ass off.
There are recording-breaking low temperatures all over North America.
In the seventies and early eighties, the big scare was The New Ice Age.
We were all going to freeze to death and have to live underground to escape the glaciers.
It’s all a huge crock of crap.

I made this point before, but I’ll make it again. Just for you. Your logic was all the rage when the passenger pigeons were exterminated. Nobody could believe that puny little man could just wipe them out.

The bison herds were endless and inexhaustible. Only by heroic efforts of Teddy Roosevelt and like minded conservationists did we manage to save the species.

As our power grows, old limits to the harm we can do by playing with matches fail. We now have matches and gasoline. A bit of caution would be in order.
