The earth produces far more of the same toxic gases and far worse pollutes than humans ever could. Thinking 'we' are warning or cooling this planet down is, funny and kinda stupid at the same time.

Well that is true if you look at the earth as a lump of rock with some water on it and assume there is no relationship between the earth and every single life form on it.

If you don't believe me then do some research into how cap and trade has worked out in Europe so far.
The whole thing is just one big swindle being perpetuated by the Marxist left and amoral bureaucrats who see an opportunity to increase their own power while lining their pockets. The only real question is why anyone would be stupid enough to fall for it.

That I would wholeheartedly agree with. It seems everything needs to be turned into a business these days no matter what the cause is. That being said it appears to me that the average human needs to be told what to do and how to do it.
