The data that has been presented, some of it by you, proves what I have said.
But even if man is causing climate change (which he isn't) there is nothing we can do about it short of executing about 3 billion people.
But you were asked earlier how putting a carbon tax on individuals and industries will stop man made climate change. It won't. What it will do is cause an inflationary rise in prices, recessions and depressions, poorer quality of life, death to a lot of poor people, and possibly a world war.
in short, you whole rhetoric on this topic is based on ignorance.
I'm going to focus on certain parts.
But even if man is causing climate change (which he isn't)
What do you mean by this? Do you mean man has no impact on the climate whatsoever? Do you mean that man has less than 50% impact on climate change?
Climate change happens naturally. Also climate change can happen by other factors, like pollution. I believe that what is happening now is not natural. We should be seeing colder temperatures and we're not. Why?
there is nothing we can do about it short of executing about 3 billion people.
Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be executing people. It has to be the realisation that populations need to be cut back, people need to have less kids. Also, there are plenty of other things that can happen. We can live more in tune with the world around us.

Hmm. Not sure if carbon tax will cause all of these things. However all of these things are a major possibility.
Price rises can lead to people using less. Big cars in the US, small cars in Europe, why? Tax on oil is much higher, people can't afford to use so much. However a lot of pollution is caused by business, who might also need to make a profit.
Recessions and depressions happen anyway, they're natural.
World War, which is looking more likely every year, is going to happen if there aren't enough resources. There won't be enough because we'll have used them all up by some time in the future.
This is good reason for using renewable energy, so that we're prepared for the inevitable.
As for based on ignorance. Come off it. You're claiming stuff. That's all you're doing. You've not backed much up. The only thing you've sourced is a wiki page with the list of a FEW scientists who deny completely or partially that man made global warming exists. Some are based on facts and figures, others seem to be scientists who have nothing to do with climate change who get given a check from some right wing foundation and then spout off that climate change isn't happening because "temperatures haven't risen in 10 years", as if pointing out one fact is suddenly science.
