God is in control. science runs behind to try to play catch up but still only knows a portion of what is good for people to do or not to do. If God wants an ice age He will bring it on, all the man made CO2 won’t stop it. Live as God says and people would have no legitimate worries about the rest of what is happening around, but instead people like to think and pretend they are more powerful than God.

We all have free will. We can wisely cut down useless trees and plant new ones or just burn every tree in the Amazon rainforest for no good reason. We can live where we choose and how we choose and collectively that makes mankind an influence on the planet no matter what we do as individuals. It's best to acknowledge the effects of our own actions and collective actions and acknowledge them honestly.

We should not beleive stories from the left the mankind and capitalism is a scourge. Nor should we simply ignore the environment by pretending God is in charge and will fix any problems we create. Both of those are extreme views. The truth is in the middle, we must be conscious of what we do, conservative, and not wasteful.
