You need a peer review for a hypothetical question I present you? Will that help you google up an answer? Just think about it! The true deniers are the non-scientists who will not field any questions against their biased dogma. I feel sorry for you Schoolmarm2000. All hat with no cattle...
But wait, the rate of change is on google, so lets throw that in! Tell me what the rate of temperature change vs. the proliferation of the dominate species is for the entire 4.5 billion years of Earth's existence - that is the correct metric, not just how fast it is happening now. Life begets heat; every time entities proliferate unstopped, the Earth heats up until a great extinction occurs. Human population is increasing at breakneck speed, so of course the Earth will heat accordingly. It will happen until extinction, and there will be no stopping it - WE MUST ADAPT not try to change climate back to some perceived glory days...
Honestly, its about conservation. Don't get me wrong, the new Hummer is badass (I may get one), but how the hell is a 1000hp truck sucking a 350kw of juice every night good for the environment? When the batteries lose even a little bit of efficiency you are talking about massive waste. Electricity has a lot more important uses like refrigeration. Society will fail 2 weeks after the grid goes down, and the ones without guns will quickly learn why the other people keep guns...
