So then we have the right to somehow stop glaciers from melting along with other effects of global warming. If it is possible, we should try.

I like this thread wondering, and I am glad to get in at the beginning of such a discussion. I am uninterested in your religious beliefs in terms of this conversation. You had indicated that we should stop global warming even if it was not caused by us. If that is the case, then why should we stop it? We spent years stopping every forest fire, but we know now that some trees only reporduce as a result of forest fires. So now there is debate about letting the trees burn for the sake of the trees. The forests are ugly after they burn, but it is the natural order of things. Why should global warming be any different?
