Maybe a little, maybe a lot. According to further information not contained in that report, part of the reason for the wind changes in antarctica are due to the hole in the ozone layer over Australia. If we believe that man caused the hole, then we have to agree that mankind has a hand in this issue.

eta: personally I think the hole in the ozone layer was caused by women in the 80's using too much hairspray for their big hairdo's.

Someone told me the other day they had heard (on NPR or somewhere) that, because of all the coal we're burning, a layer of particles is in the atmosphere, and that has actually helped slow down or counteract some of the effects of global warming.
