No but I think said increase is hardly influenced by human activity and is instead part of a cyclical behavior of Earth, which has been reconstructed by several studies (by reputable institutions I should add)

I'm fairly certain the biggest threat that human industry poses is the chemical and polymer poisoning of the environment.

Rising temperatures are only of concerns in the view that planetary conditions should be perpetually optimal for human comfort, which is a pretentious and unrealistic though process

(I'm not the person you replied to and talking in general)

Most likely they wouldn't. You can find sources to back up almost any claim. Without the context they're not actually all that useful.

The proof is in the results. When it'll be obvious climate change "action" (taxes) don't change anything the focus will switch to something like Inbound Asteroid Protection or similar.
