Please recall basic earth science principals:
- the greenhouse effect occurs all the time controlling the temperature of the earth. CO2 and O3 (amongst others) create a barrier that allows some radiation to be trapped and other radiation to leave... supposed to maintain a sort of homeostasis. If we didn't have the GE... we'd be like mercury... super hot in the day, super cold at night.
- Venus - a planet whose atmosphere is almost completely CO2 - much more so than ours. Amazingly hot, trapped radiation keeps the planet at a steady high temp.
- Homeostasis is a natural balance.
Why is it so hard to see that humans are creating an imbalance? We are pulling carbon from the earth to burn (only usually happens with volcanoes and such). We are disrupting homeostasis. Yes... there is a natural cycle, but CO2 is well above where it normally should be. Even if you don't "believe" (science is rooted in fact derived from experimentation - not opinion based) that global warming is happening... you shouldn't be wasteful.

(Show it anyway.)
A vast majority of scientists agree with the amazingly vast quantity of evidence pointing towards human contribution to global warming. I suppose you know better than them what the empirical evidence means??
Your apathy is disconcerting.
