With all due respect to you Rob, it is you who is showing arrogance is saying CO2 is not a pollutant and we are the ones causing changes in our environment. GBs own coal fired power stations were sending acidic fumes across the continent to Sweden, which in turn killed their trees and caused deforestation right up to the 1990s. After the 1962/3 winter the London smog returned resulting in the CleanAir Act, preventing coal being burned as a domestic fuel in thousands of homes, L Angles and else where gets heavy traffic jams causing smog, the Chinese burn more coal now than ever before causing ....... you can see where I'm going, it has ALL been in the news, which leads me to ask the question, where have you been hiding? You just seem to walk around in life in blissful ignorance!!!Those climate activists/doomsayers/etc seem, as a group, to be unable (or unwilling) to separate two fundamental issues:
1. Climate Change - yes, it is changing and always will, sometimes not for the better (now?), and
2. Man's Affect On The Environment - after many years of close examination of various arguments I have not seen sound scientific proof that man is a measurable cause of these changes. Yes, we should stop large scale forest clearing and reduce our pollution (I don't believe CO2 is a pollutant, by the way) stop our large scale dependance on and careless disposal of plastics and generally demonstrate good stewardship. In some respects I think it is the utmost in arrogance to suggest we are mighty enough to cause substantive change in our environment.
