Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

My phrasing may have sounded like the "humans aren't the problem" climate deniers, but my point was that our amounts are only a percentage of the natural ebb and flow of CO2. The problem is that our addition was enough to tip the scales and cause an initial slow climb that has gotten faster and faster, and our percentage (which has itself magnified in the past few decades) is still a part of an increase from other natural sources that would have stayed dormant had we not started the process. Human activity was the catalyst of the reaction, and usually a catalyst amount required isn't large.
