I believe that we do have an effect on the environment, however I don't think that it is as big as people would want you to believe. I've heard (but can't substantiate) that human impact on the environment has less than 2% of the total effect on global temperature. Also, weather patterns are cyclical, and we are probably in an upswing in the cycle currently. Now 1% over the time length since the industrial revoltion would have an effect, but not the significance that is widespread belief in some circles. JMHO
