Although it obviously makes sense to be as clean ecologically as possible, I am not sure what effects this will have on the climate, as the sun is a pretty powerful entity and has been known to have altered the temperatures on earth before.
I accept the climate is changing, but I am a massive sceptic as to it being through the 'evils of man' and even animals lol. It is strange that all the reasons for 'global warming', are things that lefty zealots do not like, mainly, meat consumption, cars and capitalism.
In response to all the 'what about the eminent scientist reports', pending, they have been wrong on just about every impending global crisis' in living memory.
Just my thoughts, and unlikely to change them, as people who have their own thoughts will be unlikely to change theirs.
The world is cleaner than it was when? 1760?

In 200 years we've turned our environment into a cesspit. Killed off thousands of species, destroyed forests and habitat, contaminated our oceans with plastics that are in the food chain. Made travel so quick that diseases spread before we know they exist. We have the means to destroy the whole countries in moments. Short term gain for long term pain? I wonder what the folk in 200 years time will take of our cavalier attitude to living in harmony with nature?

I guess many of us won't have to worry though will we?
