I willing to concede that point. However, we do know for a fact that the burning of fossil fuels is fouling up the environment.....damaging plants, trees, animals and humans, and polluting the air and water. "Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide is one of the most common greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and is regulated through the natural carbon cycle, where carbon dioxide is emitted into the air and reabsorbed by vegetation and water. This cycle is upset by the emission of additional carbon dioxide from human activities. Because natural cycles cannot absorb these additional emissions, a large portion of carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere and increases climate change. The primary human source of carbon dioxide is the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation. mtpc.org
