Quote - Some people's religion is that humans actually control how the Earth behaves and that the planet can't survive somehow on its own.

Ever notice when stuck in a traffic jam on a highway with hundreds of gas burning SUVs just how much plant life there is growing all along the sides of the road?  There's even grass growing in the cracks of the road that the cars are driving on.

And when the Earth was much warmer and there was much more CO2, there were giant plants and giant reptiles.

And Your point..?
