No, you read it right.  I'm one of those nuts who doesn't like large
systems that are currently working messed with so when I look at any 
large system I immediately assume that all the small changes will most 
likely make something big change regardless of how far away from A to B 
the changes are.  Kind of like a box-elder bug in a VME bus - it _will_ 
short something when a board is pulled/installed.  There is no if.

With the H2O thing I don't have enough data to judge what an increase in
the atmospheric moisture would do over time. IANAC (I Am Not A
Climatologist - or whatever the proper term is.)  but I look at a larger
amount of moisture as a slightly denser atmosphere, thus affecting
sunlight, thermal retention, and other unknowns.

We don't know enough about the system yet to "hack the planet". ;-)
