People who question man's ability to influence climate change should look at the tear in the Ozone layer. Remember the warnings you read about in school back in the 80s and 90s about CFCs and how they were tearing a hole in the Ozone layer, causing increased risks of cancer and such? Well with new environmental regulations and the banning of CFCs, the Ozone layer stabilized in the mid-90s, and has begun to recover since the 2000s. They expect the Ozone to be back to its original levels by 2075. Yes, man caused the hole in the Ozone layer, and it was man that worked to solve the problem.

This is all proof of manmade environmental impacts, and how acting in environmentally-friendly ways have actually helped our planet.

The fact that there are people against environmentally-conscious regulations based on political allegiance is just foolish. Even if you don't believe in climate change (and as a meteorologist, I'd love to have a chat with you), how can you not even consider planet-friendly regulations at the very least for the sake of extending the life of our planet, even if not for man-saving purposes?
