Not really sure how you can honestly say that I'm wrong that 8 million people can affect the climate in some fashion. But I certainly don't have the data to refute you.
Common sense--- 95 percent of the world's population is incorporated into just 10 percent of the World's land surface. Thus when the oceans are included Man covers even less than that percentage. Man is a tiny portion of the World, but has the arrogance through environmentalism to conclude that He masters the Earth. He does not --and the Earth likely doesn't even know He is here.
In addition, the Earth has been a lot warmer before when Man was not here. Or, when He was here, but was not industrialized. ---If the Earth is warming, go out and enjoy it!
I didn't say man mastered the earth. What I said was 8+ Billion humans has some effect on the world's ecology. To what degree of effect is the question.
Agree on the plastics. But disagree on the climate. The amount of industrial output has to have some effect, even if it is marginal, it has to have an effect. We can agree to disagree.
Since the ocean basins cover about 71 percent of the earth's surface, or about 361,000,000 square kilometers and the average depth is 16,000 feet,(over 3 miles), I'd say the statement from the AGW cult crowd that their worried because they say the depth is now 0.08 inchs, or 8/100ths of an inch deeper than it was 20 years ago fits right in with a majority of their scientific analysis, and is a perfect example of why they have so much credibility with the liberal elitist.
