Say you have a house, you've owned it for 40 years. Winter and summer comes and goes, the house warms up and cools down regularly. To argue by analogy, you are then saying that the acute changes a human occupant could make to that environment are irrelevant as the seasons will still come and go? It's ridiculous.

Humans can affect the global habitat. The short-term extreme changes we are making via industry can easily overcome the slow long-term natural changes.

If you light a fire in your living room during the winter, it heats your house up. derp.
