You breath out Co2... It's a building block of ALL life. You are a Carbon based life form.
Man isn't causing the arctic ice to melt unless man is responsible for it melting over the last 10,000's of years.. and as it melts, more water warms, more co2 is released, less ice means less reflection, thus more heat.. it's a massive cycle inside many small cycles.
None of which we can stop, prevent, or control. If all of man stopped releasing co2, or polluting at every level... nothing would change in the cycles.

Just like we had nothing to do with damaging the Ozone layer, right? It's not just CO2... it's also Nitrous Oxide, Methane, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, hydrochlorofluorocarbons and other pollutants. Yes... alot of these compounds are naturally occurring... but to simply dismiss the human effect is simplistic and ignorant of the facts.
