First, it's not an "either/or". 
Second, it IS pretty much an established fact.

Of COURSE humans have an impact (and that IS proven). So perhaps our 
impacts is the 100th monkey (the pressure on the point of adverse change 
additive to the total). No?

That's nice to think.

JS>Is our benefit the ONLY benefit?
