    it's funny how we can literally create rivers out of nothing, move mountains, pump more sewage uphill than water that flows over Niagara falls, and build ships that are bigger than city blocks, and yet some people still cling to the argument that climate change can't be man made because we couldn't make a big enough difference to impact the overall climate. We aren't just changing the climate, there is almost no part of the surface of this planet that hasn't been changed in some way by our presence, and the scope and scale is ever increasing. It's both impressive and terrifying.
