71% is covered by oceans.......
27% is mountains or deserts and uninhabitable by humans.
Man could possibly inhabit the remaining 2% but doesn't....
We are but a small speck on the face of this planet, and the chances of us having any effect on climate, other than locally is ridiculous......

Very informative illustration OGF, Which confirms that the earths
atmosphere is indeed, to all intents and purposes only four miles
thick, no more than a short walk across town? Compared to the dia
of the globe this is insignificant imo? And l believe that given enough
time, it is possible for us to cause enough change to trigger off a
natural process which will then have to complete its course?
I totally agreenwith you that humans alone cannot start a process
off, but if a natural cycle has allready started and is nearing its peak
then our inputs could produce a sort of multiplyer effect?
Thanks for the diagramns.
