Answer to Question 1

Volcanoes spasmodically pump tiny aerosols (suspended particles of sulfur, etc.)
into the atmosphere; humans do the same thing more gradually by burning coal and other
fossil fuels. Aerosols from both sources contribute to cooling; the human aerosols
temporarily counteract the global warming due to continued emission of CO2.

Answer to Question 2

Clearly, this is fallacious. Take the case of the Buckeye Egg farm, which was
closed by the state of Ohio because of the concentration of chicken wastes that made the
operation's neighbors sick. Chicken waste is natural, but in nature, such huge numbers of
chickens living together does not occur. Humans change the numbers of such molecules
that do occur in nature anyway, which changes the conditions in ways not always
foreseeable.
