The question, can man effect the climate?
Can an insect effect the life of a building?
I say "yes" to both questions.
The building may have an expected lifespan. A single insect can't do much. But hundreds of thousands of termites can certainly contribute to the early demise of that structure.
Likewise, earth with a smattering of humans probably wouldn't notice us. But with billions scouring the earth and destroying habitats and devouring resources. Yes! I do think human activity is definitely having an effect. And billions more to come from the billions here already.
Like lemmings who over populated and destroyed their island home, they jump in the sea and hope to find another home. We live on an island in space. How soon before we over populate and the planet can't cope? We are not yet able to, figuratively speaking, jump off this island and start swimming.

As we move to the Villages, now is a good time to reflect on this basic issue. How many persons can sustainably live in Florida?
Everyone wants the mild climate and proximity to the ocean.
But this is one of the most fragile ecospheres.
And the storm probability makes residing here an even riskier idea.
I guess The Villages and Babcock Ranch are examples of the most populated communities that are properly designed to handle these environmental stressers.
