  Clearly there are many factors involved in climate change - the planet has seen many developments and evolutions to reach this point. But it would be at best naive to think that the things we do as a species have no effect on the environment. As a species we have altered countless natural phenomenon - sometimes just because we can, and sometimes because we think it will improve stuff. As a species we have rarely thought through the consequences properly. Well, now we are facing some of those consequences and it is a challenge to accept some responsibility for them - much easier to continue to believe that it would all have happened anyway and do nothing.
  
  Yes, climate changes happen cyclically, and yes, the planet is evolving and re-balances itself. But that does not absolve us of all the brutal damage we have inflicted on the only planet we have on which to live. It still amazes me that we still roll over and accept that some people have plenty of water/warmth/a roof over their head/food and some have none, despite the planet up until recently being abundant in resources that could ensure everyone had sufficient.
