Actually that methane is noting compared to the flatulence you are
creating on this topic.

There's some evidence the other way, that during the period of widespread
adoptation of agriculture human caused CO2 went up either 30 or 60 ppm, I
can't remember which, from a combination of deforestation and agriculure,
with abouth half attributed to each.

There is speculation that the anthrogenic CO2 increase either kept us from
going back to another ice age, or made the inter-glacial warmer than it
would otherwise have been.

This leads to another speculation that the little ice age was caused, at
least in part, by the major reduction in human population from the black
death in EurAsia, and the population crash from the introduction of
European diseases into the Americas.

Please note that I used the word speculation for both the "excess" warming
over the last several years, and the human cause of the little ice age.

I've been looking for it but haven't seen it yet. Where is it?
