Ya, or an asteroid strike. So, you're saying, we may as well cause cataclysms ourselves?
Y'know, that SUV blocking my view would have flown off the bridge if the driver had a natural stroke or heart attack, so I may as well have shoved them off the bridge. Falling to its death was a natural process which I just helped along, and I profitted from it, so it's all good, right?

Nope. I think we should do what we can to keep emissions low, within reason.
However, it won't take much for nature to undo anything mankind tries to do (as has been shown multiple times in the past). If something like Krakatoa erupts again...well that'd put a chunk of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, many of them worse than just CO2 (water vapor for one is worse than CO2 if I recall correctly, methane as well for retaining heat).
Comparing an erupting volcano to pushing a person of a bridge...well that's just ludicrous.
