Other questions
In addition to the two questions posed above, there are many others. Our world climate has always been dynamic and dependent on many factors: continental drift, solar radiation, planetary orbit, vegetation growth, ocean currents, and now Man. We are contributing to the rate of climate change acceleration. However, the meaning of Man's contribution needs further study and debate as to the science of what is possible, and from the policy side, what societal changes are we willing to accept to achieve a particular purpose.
Here are some of the other important questions:
-Regardless of climate change cause, does the Earth have self-correcting mechanisms at work that are discernable in the historical record?
-Does knowing Man's percentage of climate change have any effect on the dynamism of continuous climate cycles?
-If Man could arrest its contribution to rising C02 and other greenhouse gases (I find this highly unlikely with ever rising world populations and the emphasis on prosperity and longevity) what would that achieve in the whole dynamic cycle of climate change?
-Should Man be better served by directing more attention and discussion to adapting and surviving climate change rather than the daily drumbeat of incremental measures that do little or nothing to changing the direction of what we face such as receding coastlines?
