You could say the same about the scientists who support the non-existent human global warming.
For them, it's just a job. If the money gets cut-off, then they don't have jobs, so they'll say anything to drag this out as long as possible and milk the cash cow.
Politically...

I don't know. Why don't you organize Jump Day and we'll find out?
At a certain time of day, have everyone on Earth stop what they're doing and jump. Maybe it will cause a tsunami or an earthquake.

While I abhor litter, I fail to see how a Styrofoam cup lying on the ground causes glaciers to allegedly melt.

The topic is global warming and whether it is caused by humans, not environmental pollution.
Whether or not our globe is warming is irrelevant, and really none of your business, since you cannot control it, and humans have no impact.
Might I remind you that we are in an Inter-Glacial Period. Accordingly, I would expect it to warm up (especially as the Earth is closer to the Sun now than ever before in recorded history).

I guess this is more proof that people who deny global warming really have no F'ing clue or more brain cells then teeth.

For the record, exactly how many Inter-Glacial Periods have you witnessed or experienced?

....that is your Earth, 99.99% of the time.
The other 0.01% of the time it is like it is now.
Anytime your ready for 6 Billion people to freeze and starve to death, just give the word.
I also get the impression you are not familiar with Eccentricity. Here's a nice example:
Earth does not orbit the Sun in a perfectly circular orbit.
Earth is more or less "anchored" at a fixed distance from the Sun on its pseudo-apogee but the pseudo perigee is not a fixed point -- the Earth moves to and fro across a period of about 100,000 years.
And right now, the Earth is about to reach maximum perigee (between December 2012 and January 2013). Once that happens, Earth will begin moving farther away from the Sun and the Earth will very soon (in geologic terms -- not human terms) return to an Ice Age.
Here's a more exaggerated depiction:
Imagine Earth's pseudo-perigee moving between where Mercury is and where Earth is. Like I said, it's exaggerated, but it illustrates the point, namely that when you are closer to a source of heat...
...you get really warm.
And then there's the North Magnetic Pole which is moving about like a mole.
I won't even get into that, because half of it would go over your head and the other half would go way, way over your head.
Suffice to say that UV particles, protons, neutrons, gammas and X-rays are shunted at the North Magnetic Pole and that in part drives weather patterns on Earth.
Since the magnetic pole has moved, guess what?
Those UV particles, protons, neutrons, gammas and X-rays are being shunted to a different location than they were previously.
For all of you who wanted to know the $64,000 Question and why Tornadoes are appearing in places they never appeared before...
.....now you know why.
