The question is whether or not we humans have affect on that. To me it is pretty simple. If we clean up our act, make a cleaner better environment and reduce the amount of potentially damaging emissions and it turns out we were wrong and it doesn't affect the weather, oh well, at least we still have a cleaner, nicer planet to live on.
If we ignore it and we turn out to be wrong the consequences could be great.
This doesn't mean I support crazy carbon taxes and scams of that nature, but more an overall effort to make a cleaner, better planet.

The problem is cleaning up our act is expensive. Carbon taxes as a whole are not a scam. Carbon taxes are theoretically what would pay to clean the earth up.
