That's exactly the point. I don't think we should be pumping carbon (or any other adulterants) in to our environment. But remaining skeptical of the claims of climatologists who can't reliably predict the weather 5 days into the future while claiming the ability to definitively predict the weather 5 years (and longer) into the future does not make you a "climate change denier". I have very little doubt that the destruction we are wreaking on the environment (of which carbon pollution is a tiny part) will end poorly for us. Its fine to speculate on how exactly this blowback will manifest itself but hubris to claim to know with certainty.
