If not for climate, do it for environment

Hey, climate change deniers. Let's say you're right: not happening, not man-made, just a hoax by money hungry climatologists.

You are firmly and proudly, then, on the side of pollution and waste and short-term corporate profits.

Besides the wacky notion that reducing waste and increasing efficiency will be more profitable in the long run, isn't it better to have clean air and water? Aren't human needs like breathing and drinking, and luxuries like walking and swimming and enjoying nature, improved by reducing pollution? Is it really in our (i.e., humanity's) best interest to allow factories to dump whatever sludge they want into our rivers, whatever smoke into our air just because its cheaper?

Just to be clear: the same actions needed to keep our air and water clean are the actions to combat climate change. Please reply and explain. Why do you choose the Koch Bros. and oil profits over breathing without a mask? When did life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness become a liberal hoax?
