I believe the earth is warming and it's because of the increased concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. Arctic ice hasn't been melting in the summer and completely refreezing in the winter in the last few decades. If it was there wouldn't be new sea lanes there now that haven't ever existed before and there wouldn't be countries arguing about who controls the newly accessible resources that exist there. You can't substantially increase CO2 levels in a planet's atmosphere without increasing the "heat trapping" effect of that CO2. If you can pump all those billions of tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere and it won't make any difference then why get so upset about people wanting to cut those emissions anyway? It's not like burning coal makes any of us any healthier (especially the coal miners). Why not move to natural gas and nuclear?
