Well, it's not my statement. It's the UN group on climate science.
and you accept it?

I just go with the flow on global scientific consensus.
It is much easier to let other people do your thinking for you.

Could they be wrong? Yes, there is a probability that they are wrong.
yes there is

But a rational man goes with the odds.

A rational man doesn't accept a statement that is absurd. Which the UN's statement is.

You made a good point in your post,

I made several good points.

I think that it is quite possible that humans are accelerating a process that might have happened anyway at a different speed.

We could be contributing to warming a little bit...or we could be offsetting cooling. Or, plants can be getting ready to do a population explosion where they suck up all of the CO2 out of the atmosphere and we lose the greenhous effect and we all freeze to death. You don't know. I don't know...and more importantly, the guys getting paid the big bucks...out of our pockets, don't know.

given that all the carbon we burn use to be organic at some point, so can we really contribute more gas to a process that is self-contained anyway?

you are catching on....all of that coal.....it came from the atmosphere that was much richer in CO2 than ours currently is. And life was quite explosive. Have you considered that we may be doing mother earth a favor by releasing our essential element?

Can humans survive the changes to the ecosystem of a globe that warms beyond a certain point?


Adapt or die....why shoule the rules be any different for us?
