so are many other things i can't even think of right now.

don't get me wrong here - we're definitely (and i've said this elsewhere in this thread) having a measured effect in recent history on the cycles of CO2.

but compared to the activity of the sun and the KNOWN and MEASURABLE cycles and trends, we are a smaller factor in my opinion.

were any of those '90% of scientists' asked that question specifically?
No but the majority would say that we have a "significant" effect that could be catastrophic...
