Right, because killing people is right along the same line as putting such a ridiculously small amount of gasses into the air that the planet produces far more of than we ever could....

Along that line of thinking we might as well just ditch all industrial technology that produces any sort of pollution whatsoever, so we can make a unnoticeable difference in "global warming" and save everyone from nothing? Seem about accurate?
So what you're saying is that it's OK to keep increasing vehicle emissions, because, at present, global warming is a hoax...

What you're not taking into account is that without emissions regulations to keep that "hoax" in check, eventually, the "problem" becomes a PROBLEM, and your theory gets shot out the window.

The basic idea here is one of equilibrium. The Earth is equipped to deal with it's own gaseous emissions, and maybe adaptable to even more than it could produce on it's own, but to what extent?

What you're saying is like putting proverbial straws on a camel's back. Eventually, one more is one too many, and then it's too late.
