the term "natural climate change" implies that it's an act of god or something. but, historical climate change has been the consequence of a myriad of complex causes, including biological activity. look up the great oxygenation event for one particularly extreme example. one should consequently not mentally categorize "natural" and "anthropogenic" climate change as different things. they're really fundamentally the same thing - same causes, same consequences. and, we can modify so-called "natural" climate change just as well as we can modify so-called "anthropogenic" climate change.

the real question is about how long it takes for the oil industry to drop the orwellian charade and realize they're only fooling the village idiots.

...and about why it is that humans insist on separating themselves from nature.
