Because you are doing exactly what every single person I know who's become an armchair global warming expert. One day, you use the term "carbon footprint" Next, you start posting facts that will only agree with your point of view. You are already convinced that global warming is bs, so you'll google away and find things that support your uneducated on the topic point of view. The worst part, to me, is that like others who hold your point of view, you probably think it's just fine for our culture to pollute and over consume away. I wonder what you think when you see reports about a certain glacier in the artic that has shrunk more in the past 9 years then any other time in recorded history. And of course, you make jokes about polar bears. You just can't seem to make the correlation between extreme changes in things like polar bear populations and rapidly melting glaciers. It's impossible for you to realize the amount of pollution we've been pumping into our planet since the dawn of the industrial revolution. In your world, all that just magically goes away and has absolutely no effect on our planet. You completely don't get the point that virtually none of the chemicals, emissions or other pollutants that we produce either didn't exist before the industrial revolution, or existed in such minor quantities that they didn't effect the natural balance of things. Even things like methane, which is very harmful to the environment and is being produced at all time high level due to things like the cattle industry, which feeds our hunger for crappy fast food. Discussing this topic with you is a complete waste of time.
