You kinda took that out of context. "That" is "the amount of energy the sun radiates to the Earth's surface". That amount of energy 100% dwarfs anything the human race could ever hope to use

Well dwarfs what we need before we start colonizing the galaxy.

> Though this same argument is dismissed by those who support the idea that we're changing the weather by CO2 emissions.

Our direct effect is minuscule, it just so happens that our efforts magnify the not so minuscule effect the sun has.

In terms of wind energy, rotating mills are not going to have any measurable impact on wind energy or patterns.

But with CFCs, we clearly aren’t minuscule. We saw a hole in the ozone layer that opened when we used them, and is closing now that we’ve stopped.

For some things, we’re too minuscule, for others we’re not.

Who argues that human greenhouse gas emissions are minuscule?
