Pardon me, Peter, but you're forgetting one thing: the randomness of nature.  If the Indonesian volcano blows it's top like it did right before the "Little Ice Age" we might be heading into winter, not summer. We don't know if or when nature will rear up and bite us in the butt.  I do think mankind has had a detrimental effect on nature, but I don't think it's as big as some think.
