The Fixer
I won't dispute we are polluting the earth.This is to say, it is not JUST carbon. It is a huge combination of the following:
* Carbon monoxide
* Carbon dioxide
* Other pollutants emitted when we burn fuels, which include not just our cleanest yet gasoline and diesel, wood, plastic, and other things us and third world civilizations burn
* Both coal and oil are essentially 300+ million year old reserves of carbon.
* As such, generating AND using electricity causes heat, and lots of materials are used in the process of just harnessing and using electricity.
* Lithium is NOT exempt from this list
* Running air conditioners displaces heat and uses C02 at the same time
* Eating
* Pooping
* Humans displace water from its natural habitats, which keeps the earth from having as much water to go around at any given time which aids in heating it
* We are killing animals and ecosystems in many of the following ways: Displacing it to build our homes and factories and roads, mining it for resources to build said homes, roads, chemicals, etc, farming on it, hunting the animals themselves, and allowing our wastes to wash downstream into them, or fertilizer to land on them (see north pole, why is FETILIZER on the north pole?), overfishing, etc
It literally goes on and on. As modern humans, just about everything we do aids explicitly or implicitly in rapid climate change.
But we are not changing the weather. Get real. The north still gets snow, the south still gets hot. We get four seasons, that hasn't changed.
