3. The earth is a rock.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Scale doesn't matter in and of itself. What does matter is that the Sun's output varies as a result of various chaotic factors, and the effects of such variations are vastly more significant than any effects attributable to anthropogenic CO2. While it is theoretically possible that such natural variation might drive the planet so close to the brink that a reduction in atmospheric CO2 would represent the difference between a recoverable climate and oblivion, the probability of that occurring is totally dwarfed by the possibility that solar events may disrupt the Earth's climate (no matter what we do) that the only way to survive will be to have developed sufficient technology to cope with such things by the time they occur, and survival will depend upon humanity having not stagnated its economy in the name of "global warming".
