I've heard this before, it seems civilization itself is a heat engine of sorts. Even clearing the land for agriculture increases the warming if done Industrially. We are going to have to chyange a whole lot of our ways of doing things going forward or else. Mother N. has laws and when you violate them even in ignorance there are consequences.
