@MrMalachiCrunch:
Garg, I Â like you and for the most part I find myself usually in agreement with you.
My observation for what it’s worth:
I think you have created a straw-man to lay a beating on, if I may, your premise #3 is inaccurate.
Question #3:
Do scientists continue to tell us that mankind is 100% responsible for climate change? Answer = YES
No, actually, I have never once heard anybody with a scientific background ever state this once. Â I would ask you to provide citations for this observation.
A ‘logical argument’ in order to be true must rely on the premises all being correct, since your premise #3 is incorrect your argument if there is one….is invalid.
Humans certainly do affect climate change but to what degree is the question.  In fact, there are lines of reason and thought that show that if not for humans burning stuff starting a few maybe 10s of thousands of years ago that we would be in an ice age.  Human climate change saved the world but sooner or later it might be too much.  I certainly can see evidence of climate change, it was only a few 10s of thousands of years ago when there were miles of ice right where I live now.  We can see the scrape marks left in bedrock from the miles of ice pushing down on boulders locked in in ice that were dragged across the bedrock as the glaciers advanced. Well technically the glacier can be ‘in retreat’ and yet still have the ice move forward.
This stems from all the articles I read on the subject… even the ones Frimmel has posted like this one.

Go to www.google.ca and type in “Humans are 100% res” and before you have finished typing “responsible” the top 4 items that come up are Global Warming, climate change, Pollution, Animal extinction.
The sheer and ridiculous amount of media volume out there saying -exactly that- is what my point is based on. That’s what the people and scientists are saying, I believe even Al Gore tells us we are 100% responsible in his film.
I mean, how ludicrous? Animal extinction? Really? a few BILLION years of Animal Extinctions, including the dinosaurs, wooly mammoths, the sasquatch and the sabre tooth tiger, and you want to tell me that man-kind is the most responsible? A bit much…
The first point I want to prove is that there are NO credible sources which can cleary distinguish between whats natural and whats man-made. And what’s worth, anyone with a different idea, or a contradicting point of view, gets ex-communicated faster than a heretic in a 1400’s catholic church.
The second point worth proving is that our perception of time and events is so pathetically skewed. We think that 10 years is a HUGE span. It’s not, especially when you put things into context of billions, or even just millions of years. Whether we talk about man made emissions, or C02 levels in the jurassic age being way higher than they are today, green house gas contents change… and as society progresses, even if everything some climate scientists are saying is true at it’s worst it’s totally inconsequential when overlayed in a time context. Hell Frimmel says a trillion years of climate history is irrelvant and he’s right.
100 years ago, people were still pushing through life with a horse and cart. With the green tech already out there today etc, and new sources of energy people are discovering, how much different do you think our worlds going to be in another 100 years? and another 100 after that? 300 years is F-all over the historical context, and alot of the -change- blame can be placed solely on the natural course of the planet itself. (Which no one gets published for saying).
Hell in 300 years we’ll probably be off this rock, living on a terraformed Mars and beyond. That’s what a bulk of -climate- dollars and science energy should be spent on IMO.
The planet is going to survive just fine - with or without us. Of course it’s reasonable to explore all possibilities and make efforts to insure our own survival, but we’re going to make it one way or the other.
The next most likely -extinction- event is a plauge engineered by climate scientists IMO. They want us all dead!
