The big issue is that we don't actually know its us thats causing a change in the earths climate. We do know that it goes through cycles of hot and cold and is never stable for long(in terms of the overall lifespan of the planet). If it was then we would never have seen the Ice Age or come out of it for that matter.

We do know that over millions of years Earth will be getting hotter and hotter as our sun expands untill it eventually consumes Earth. then at some future point it will collapse inwards to becaome a dwarf star.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't make some efforts as just as we can't prove it is us we can't prove it isn't. However without the Americans, Chinese and Indians joining in the UK is a tiny crumb of a very big cake. Insignificant in all our efforts.
