I'm sorry, Oliva.  More than 6 billion of us little ants, pouring out  
pollution, poisons, CO2, etc., onto this planet, can make a difference.   
Half the biological productivity of
the planet is already going to feed humans.  If we were living a paleo  
life (all 5 million of us that the Earth could support this way) we would  
have NO impact on the climate, but that's not the case.

And we all know where the power politics comes into play: for the benefit  
of the mega-corporations and the hyper-rich, not some poor slob trying to  
reduce his carbon footprint.

I'm sorry, I know this is off-topic, but I just couldn't let it pass.  I  
promise
to shut up about it now.
