"In the same way is it OK for children to breathe in poisonous fumes from the local power generating station or should action be taken to control such a poison? That is more to the point."

Perhaps more to the point is people are living longer than ever before.

"I am arguing the case that climate change is being driven by human activity, and we need to keep a reign on it."

Do you mean rein or perhaps you are a royal authority and have sovereign jurisdiction over mother earth. From now on I shall address you as Princess Pearly Button of Mother Earth.

It is arrogant beyond belief to think one set of humans should be penalized while another runs amok, i.e. Kyoto.

"Just because humans do one or other things right or wrong has no bearing on my argument."

There is no argument because no matter what we do as humans it won't stop the next ice age, it won't stop the magnetic poles from reversing and it won't stop a meteorite hit. Enjoy your life because you have no control over outside events.
