JC, you may be right if you said "few are saying mankind is the cause..." (few being the operative word). But, "many" are implying that we can arrest the rate of warming. In my opinion, this is impossible and, as Nighthiker said, egotistical and, I would add, ludicrous.

The reason the cycle is progressing faster and faster isn't alarming to me, it's just sensical....normal...expected.

That's not to say that I don;t support good practices by "us" in using fossil fuels and other resources, but I support that so we have a healtheir environment.... NOT because I think it might have any effect on the earth's cyclical meteorological events.
