Mankind's actions are not needed by God for anything. However, God has used human actions for His own (perfect) purposes. If He wishes human-caused carbon dioxide to warm the atmosphere for His purposes, perhaps to somehow draw more sinners to Himself, that's what would happen. IMO, humans are causing at least some of the warming climate, but I totally believe that God is in control, and completely sovereign. I also agree with Reynolds that we should be good stewards of God's creation - that's clearly biblical.
