Ok, so obviously you don't respond to evidence, or to the beliefs of those who are much, much smarter, and more knowledgeable in the field than you and I, I have but one thing to say to you.

If everyone in the world believed me, and you turned out to be right, we would see reduction in air/water/land pollution, a shift to energy sources that will last indefinitely, as opposed to fossil fuels which are predicted to last 40-100 years, creation of jobs and eventually savings in money.

Now think about what will happen if people listen to you and I am right.

 

Even if the overwhelming evidence is only enough to convince you that there is a 50% chance that human caused global warming is real, surely it is not worth gambling with the future of the human race?

 

Also, this is really interesting. You are the first climate change denyer I have ever talked to. If you don't mind me asking; what country are you from? What level of education do you have? What are you currently doing in terms of a job/education/whatever?

I don't think you need to be so patronising. 

I try my best to keep up with the debate, but freely admit I'm not the most researched in this area.  You're not even acknowledging a debate even exists.  The problem is the "much, much smarter and more knowledgable" people aren't all singing the same chorus. 

I recall seeing this clip below; that shows that CO2 is not the driving force in temperature change, but an effect of it.  What do you make of it?
