Think about it...
According to environmentalists we must respect mother nature, we must take care of the earth. If we don't, we will die.
According to them, it's because we haven't done those things that "global warming" is taking place.
There is no conclusive evidence that man caused global warming...kind of like there is no conclusive evidence that god exists. But this lack of evidence doesn't seem to make a difference in their devotion.
They expect everyone else to change their lifestyles because of what they believe in.
Anyone who doesn't believe in their cause is stupid and ignorant, or hasn't been "enlightened" yet.
They treat Al Gore like he's the effing pope.

Its basic science, carbon dioxide and other pollutants are released into the air from our vehicles and power plants (some, not all). These build up in the atmosphere. More solar radiation gets through and less of it is reflected back into space.
Even if man didn't cause it, its still there, its still a problem, and we should still do something about it. But its pretty ignorant to believe that the billions of cars pouring out tons of hydrocarbon emissions (not just Co2) each day doesn't affect our climate one bit. Deforestation also adds to the problem because the Earth's natural methods for dealing with Co2 is photosynthesis, which also happens to provide all the energy for every land dwelling animal in existance (in addition to creating oxygen from Carbon dioxide).
