This is the point though - science, real science, is about disproving
things. So to say "Hey, we've found a correlation" is pretty
meaningless, even if it appears to be really quite strong. Science
will then go through and rip things apart to see how robust these
ideas are. Yeah, OK, you may feel that the levels of CO2 are
responsible for something, but how robust is the idea that humans (the
all-powerful humans that is) are solely responsible for climate change
when it's known that the climate changes continually, and has done
forever? We may be contributing in a small way, but as mammals, we
necessarily consume resources, cause pollution, etc, the point is how
much actual, real damage is being done by this? And are the
consequences of global warming actually damage to the earth? Or is it
just damage to humans?
