In William Ruddiman's Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum [0] he argues that even human agriculture has been enough to tip the CO2 scales in favor of not entering a new ice age. > But what if scientists have been wrong about the causes of global warming? This would require several, distinct and unrelated fields of science being wrong about the way CO2 and other GHG have in the past and currently regulate the Earth's temperature. There is no question that CO2 in the atmosphere has been rapidly rising. There is no question that humans have been the cause of this rise, it's just basic math given the wild amount of hydrocarbons we combust every year. So while it's possible that scientists are wrong in the big picture sense it would require a sea-change in our understanding of climate from every perspective as well as being a remarkable coincidence that we are seeing the impact we are in correlation to our own CO2 emissions. A far, far more likely explanation is that the Earth's climate is even more sensitive to small changes in CO2 on a small time scale than we have previously thought. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plows,_Plagues_and_Petroleum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plows,_Plagues_and_Petroleum
