1. Polluting (not only CO2).
2. Deforestation.
3. Land degradation.
4. Energy waste.
5. Fresh water waste.
6. Food waste.
7. All other resources waste.
Growing population will increase pressures to the breaking point and our civilisation must change to avoid a collapse. Global warming is just one piece of the global puzzle. Even if global warming does not occur, the above wastes will backfire. Even if the global warming is a myth (which it is not), it would be irresponsible to advocate business as usual.
Carbon dioxide is good, but not too much of it. This cannot be said, however, for many other pollutants. Sustainable forestry is also good, but we have seen too much of unsustainable deforestation.
I can elaborate on this further, but the point is clear.
This debate is much wider in its implications. Think carefully, very carefully about what are you implicitly supporting.
