I understand the principle, however we are geeks so we make intelligent
changes to complex computer systems all the time. No obviously I can't
speak for everyone but when I make a change to a computer, it usually
improves the system.

As for environmental changes, I agree it's difficult to see any because we
are so small compared to the earth that it's hard to imagine that we might
make a difference. However here is some proof of a difference we made
