We simply cannot wield energies on natural scales.

Mr. Larkin thinks that washing his car will cause an ice age.


I think he's being just the least bit sarcastic.



No, I think that, if climate is a chaotic system, the tiniest
disturbance will propagate to complete changes of state.

It's interesting that the "climate change" crowd (formerly known as
the "global warming" crowd) now warn us of a "tipping point" where
added CO2 will trip a positive feedback mechanism and cause either
intense warming, or an ice age, I'm not sure which.

The name "climate change" came about when they suddenly realized they
didn't know **** ;-)
