re: #477 LudwigVanQuixote

Respectfully, how does it follow from that that the things I mentioned have no effect?

Respectfully, I think the things you mentioned may have some effect, but much smaller than most people think. Just a cursory review of even recent earth history shows that (relatively) extreme climatological changes occur on larger-scale (think ice ages) and shorter-scale (think medieval warm period from the 10th to 12th century and the little ice age from the 13th to about the 18th century). Given the climate fluctuations that have occurred over the last hundred thousand years (give or take a few) that obviously occurred with minimal anthropogenic input, I think the current hysteria is just background noise.
