Pass the kool aid this way because it must taste goood.
What I'm saying is this:

1) On a physics level, we know that A (increased percentages of CO2, Methane, other specific gases in an airlike mixture) can cause B (Increased specific heat levels of the gas mixture).

2) On a laboratory level, in samples of air that air studied and subjected to A, we get B.

3) In global computer simulations, when we increase A, we see a projected increase in B.

4) Addressing the issue of pollution through overconsumption and pisspoor efficiency solves many more things than just anthro climate change, and these only serve to benefit us as a whole. It's just that anthro climate change gets hanged on by too many people for the wrong reasons when it's one facet in a much larger problem. So, if we find ways to reduce A, then then we reduce B, and we consequently reduce the risk of a whole lot of problems.
