It's possible. We have a coloring book that shows, among other things, how Vikings fought dinosaurs.
How many times a day do you post this?

Having paid attention to climate and weather for 60 years, there definitely seem to be clear changes causing serious problems in some areas.Those must be the areas with the most SUVs, incandescent light bulbs and cow farts.
I was well aware that the “hockey stick” refers to the idea of anthropogentic global warming causing a recent uptic in temperatures which showed up on the graphs as a hockey stick shape. I didn’t think I needed to define it for all the knowledgeable people here. On the other hand there have been some interesting possible anthropogenic effects. For a number of years the particulate air pollution in Europe was drifting down over Africa and was ultimately deemed to be the cause of the major “Sahel” droughts. After Europe cleaned up their chimney stacks, the problem seems to have abated. There was also an interesting effect noted when air traffic was stopped for 3 days after 9/11. A change was noted in evaporation rates in pans used by agricultural scientists. I forget what the implications were, but the affect of missing air traffice pollution was noticed with some surprise.

Particulates are heavy so settle to ground and are done. So cleaning-this up is nothing.
CO2 rises and gives up global warming. It is much more insidious. (lulz) There are millions of hi-IQ people here who are complacently lo-IQ when it comes to AlGore style global warming. You can chalk this up to emotions and an emotions-intelligence disconnect
As often as necessary.
However, we do not live in such a universe. We live in a universe where the effect that an increase in man-made CO2 emission can be shown, through rigorous experiment, to have on climate, temperature, or any such thing, is roughly equivalent to the effect a tarot throw has on Michael Mann getting run over by a bus tomorrow.
