One thing that I learned in taking courses on the life sciences or even Archaeology is that the ecology and climate is a finely balanced system, where humans can and have messed it up numerous times through their actions - so why should now be any different given the greater influence man has now (numbers, industry, habitation zones, ecological exploitation, etc.)? The only reason I can point to is political.

good call
