That's why I laugh when scientists want to believe that the cause of the current climate change conditions is all due to man...some crackpots think we know enough to be able to change the climate back to what it was a century ago?
I have never heard any serious scientist say anything even remotely like that.
The strongest thing I have ever heard said is that man contributes to accelerated climate change, and that we need to cut our output of greenhouse gasses to avoid making things any worse.
I'm with USS KG5: I've never heard a serious scientist express this sentiment, nor by anyone of any repute in the environmental community. The "Man did it all" argument is one that simply doesn't exist outside the fevered imaginations of global warming deniers. They publicly and falsely attribute it to environmentalists, then discredit it (which is easily achieved), thus making it look like they've disproved a major tenet of the pro-environment movement. It a straw man from the get-go.
I wonder ... if Mars still had an atmosphere, if grass and bacteria would pop up within a hundred years without out help.
I jsut hae this feeling deep in me that a long, long time ago before human beings, Mars was something along hte lines of Earth.

Well maybe in a few million years, a billion maybe - a mere century seems a bit quick for the spontaneous emergence of life.
Also of course a good point. Actually I believe grass as we know it only emerged in the era of the dinosaurs.
