Nobody's arguing that mankind is not wasteful or couldn't do a much better job at taking care of this planet of ours. The argument is wether or not it's prudent to declare Carbon as the problem to end all problems, regulate and tax the shit out of, and run along as if everything else is normal.

If we are not the problem why bother reducing anything? In a closed environment the increase of CO2 raises the average temperature. We are in a closed environment just a very big one. So the rest is just math to see how much not if. Also because we are in such a big environment we get lots noise in the data. Pretty common problem.
