I see that point, but it may not necessarily mean that man is changing the climate. That's still unproven.
Well yeah, but his point was in mocking reference to a quote that I had posted:

"Man is driven by his ego and finds it impossible to think even the weather is not all about him."

Now I don't really see how that statement has anything to do with the worlds Dodo, buffalo or passenger pigeon populations or nature in general, do you? Am I not understanding something here?
