It is out of concern for our descendants and the future of humanity, just as stated.
So you want your descendants and the future of humanity to live under fascism and the Church of Global Warming as the state religion.
It is not half of the scientific community.
Science is not a community. There is no such thing as a 'scientific community'. Science is a set of falsifiable theories.
Only a very small percentage deny human caused climate change.
Climate has no quantity. There is nothing that can change.
Most of science says we have to change our ways.
Science says no such thing. But, since you bring up science and physics, let's look at a few laws of physics that you deny:
The 1st law of thermodynamics. It is not possible to create energy out of nothing. E(t+1) = E(t)-U
The 2nd law of thermodynamics. You cannot heat a warmer surface using a colder gas, nor cause a reduction of entropy in any way, no matter how magickal you make it. e(t+1) >= e(t)
The Stefan-Boltzmann law. You cannot trap light. No gas or vapor has the capability to trap light. r=C*e*t^4
No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth.
You cannot trap heat.
You cannot trap light.
You cannot trap thermal energy. There is always heat.
It is wishful thinking to go against a basic physics law that says: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
No such law. Newton's law of motion is F=mA. There is only one law of motion. This one. It describes conservation of motion, and the effect of an equal and opposite reaction.
7 billion humans burn things daily, or have them burned in their name, and there has to be side effects from that.
Yes. Industry. Keeping warm.
It's not like all that extra carbon going into the atmosphere is just vanishing.
Burning something does not produce carbon. Carbon is a fuel. Denial of oxy-reduction chemistry.
Before the Earth was infested with so many humans, that carbon was not going into the atmosphere. Humans caused that.
Burning something does not produce carbon. Carbon is a fuel.
No believer in human caused climate change
Climate cannot change. It has no quantity.
has attempted to claim that human industrial activity is the only cause of climate change,
Climate cannot change. It has no quantity.
nor that others don't exist. All these factors contribute.
To what? Void argument fallacy.
I'm not clear on where you got the idea that there is a link between the two.
From you and the Church of Global Warming.
I can only imagine it is because the EPA designated CO2 as a pollutant for regulatory purposes.
What is it polluting?
Agreed, most of what we think of as pollution is not the major factor in human-caused climate change.
Define 'pollution'.
I'm glad we agree that pollution is bad and we need to continue to work on eliminating pollution.
Define 'pollution'.
Another big problem caused by over-population
Define 'over-population'. Who are YOU to decide if population is too high? You want to reduce population? You first.
Non-sequitur fallacy. Buzzwords do not cause species loss.
Humans are responsible for thousands of extinctions which would not have otherwise occurred.
How do you know that would not have occurred? Sorry, but you have no reference point.
The diversity and veracity of our habitat is being irreversibly changed, and not for the better.
Who are YOU to say what is 'better'? Who made YOU king?
