1) We do damage the atmosphere, even if turns out to be an insignificant amount.
2) Damaging the atmosphere isn't helping anybody.
3) We can work to reduce the damage we are doing.
Even if we aren't the main cause of global warming, it still affects us, and we should be doing everything we can to thwart it. Sitting around arguing about whether it is our fault or not is ridiculous. The Earth isn't blaming anyone, this isn't a court case. If we can do something about it, lets do it.
Good insight!
What irks me are the industries cashing in on getting everybody to go "Green".
No, I don't think we should just trash our planet but there's a thing called "wear and tear". The earth is ultimately going to deteriorate if not undergo some drastic changes with or without us so STOP cashing in on making people feel like they have to buy every FAKE "green" product on the market.
