If you believe everything the climate scientitians say then we've saved the planet from becoming a giant frozen snowball.
They say all this carbon is bad, and heating things up. They also say without mankinds inadvertent contribution of CO2 we'd be headed into an ice age now. It's due. Okay... so we accidentally prevented an ice age? That's good, isn't it? An ice age would destroy modern civilization and kill almost everyone. Most of the world's farmland would be frozen, billions would starve. My nation would be buried under a vast glacier. Much of Europe and Asia too. That's not science fiction, that's the way things were just 20,000 years ago.
Ice ages aren't the natural state of the Earth, the natural state of the Earth is hot, with no ice caps. It's only in the last 2 million years that ice ages began. 2 million out of at least 2000 million years life has been on this planet. We (life) used up the carbon in the atmosphere and sequestered it. Life buried the carbon (oil, gas, coal, limestone). And the planet started to freeze.
We came along and stopped another freeze, maybe the permanent one. The planet was about to die before we came along. Oh bad us, tax me now please.
