Because any useful rebuttal is a waste of time, I was really interested in this topic and read a ton of books about it 12-13 years ago, the arguments and end result hasn't changed since then. It's more fun just to make fun of you guys arguing about this senseless waste of time since nobody's opinion is going to change one way or another. If you believe global warming/cooling/climate change is man-made, no amount of charts, graphs and data are going to sway you otherwise.

Damn, I've already broken my rule about only posting pictures from now on in all political threads. Just seems appropriate. :D

Unfortunately that is the issue. There are people that will no matter what believe the earth is flat. No matter what you tell them. You can give observations of stars, Shadows, and all kinds of evidence to show them, we are a ball. Then when they finally take a trip around the earth, and will say they knew it all along.
"Every great scientific truth goes through Three phases:
First people say it cant be true.
second they say it conflicts with the bible,
third they say it was true all along."
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
More and more evidence will show up and eventually you will realize the truth with the more evidence in stronger and stronger storms, Longer and longer droughts, more and more toxic air.

So you flat out believe that we aren't causing any harm to the environment? If not, I will not waste any more of both of our time in talking about this.

You changed the wording. Do I believe we are causing global warming? Nope, not one bit. Is it actually happening? Maybe. There is an equal amount of data to argue either point.

Do I believe we are harming the environment in other ways with pollution in general? Yes, absolutely. There are a lot of deadly gases we're emitting that in larger concentrations can cause problems, like smog. I'm all for the cuts we made 40 years ago to corporate emissions and even vehicle exhaust to some degree, unfortunately this whole argument takes it way beyond that to the point of absurdity.
