While one can argue over the benefits of global and regional climate changes it is clear that we live on a planet full of changes.

Those who argue that 'we live on a planet' do so only so they won't be shunned and cast out of their comfortable positions inside the ivory tower.
Exberance,
I hope you weren't implying that I have a position in an ivory tower. If so, please tell me where it is because I didn't know I did!
