You'd have to be an ostrich with your head in a hole to believe that we can't screw up the planet to the point of creating making life very difficult for ourselves.

None of that amounts to destroying the planet. Transforming it for the worse, sure. But the planet will survive any and all of those, even if humans wouldn't.
Anyway, as I've said before, painting those who don't buy the climate change alarmism as somehow against clean air or environmental preservation or in favor of pollution is absurd.
I'm 100% for reducing particulate and toxic emissions from cars and industry, I'm 100% for preserving nature, I'm 100% for clean energy such as nuclear and solar, I'm 100% for sustainable development, I'm 100% for recycling and reducing waste in landfills and dumping waste into oceans and rivers. No one is against any of that. It's our approach on how to get there that differs.
