I don't, but then again, what's the point of this query?

What went on 100+ million years ago is not exactly the 
issue; we all agree that the planet has been through 
lots of serious changes since then.  Continents have 
moved around, species have come and gone, and so 
on.

The issue, as I recall, was whether we humans exert a 
"disproportionate" effect on our planet, and I assert that 
we do.
