Your missing something called 'the one percent doctrine'. Even tho the recent execution of this concept has been horribly bumbled by ningconpoops, there is some validity to the concept. Its why I carry insurance. Its not for the 99 % of the time that I drive or electicity flows thru my walls that I have it, its because the chance that I just might be wrong and dont want to lose everything and then some.

You are also missing something of just as much importance, that CO2 isnt the only issue. CH4, NOx SOx Hg, Ozone in the wrong places and not enough in other, etc.... There is a very long list of other impacts on the global system that humans produce thru their land and energy practices.

Lastly, you are missing the obvious economic point. Not only are we ruining our rivers and lakes and groundwater and oceans thru coal and other fuel mining, and not only are we ruining our ATM with pollutants, but we are giving away $ after $ after $ down a rat hole or even worse-into a den a theives. We have proven better ways to do the job and only hold back because of intrenched systems and interests. Make no mistake that the energy revolution will drag the US back into the economic engine that it has been for a century. Carbon credits and other pollution pricing will grease those wheels of progress.

I think your missing the big picture, your not seeing the forest because you are trying to indentify each and every tree. Your missing more than enough proof to act in a responsable way to solve what is more than likely not, a huge issue.
