"Catalytic converters and the removal of lead from gas is evidence human interaction had a negative impact on the air, and was mitigated even when fools opposed such a mitigation.
Ever heard of Acid Rain? Hows about SMOG, where does that come from, GOD, MOTHER NATURE or US?
What evidence do you have in echoing the argument that the ice cap is a natural occurrence, and not a result of pollution?
Ever heard of the Killer Fog? Clean coal is gallows humor:"

Yes it is good that Lead and other polluting substances are captured, however that was part of the 1970 Clear air act effect because at the time technology was in the early stages of being able to do the job in the cleaning up of emissions of various particles known to cause health problems.
Killer Fog was in 1952, long before technology was available to clean up the Coal emissions, also it was rare combination of atmospheric conditions that caused something not normally seen as shown by a research finally solving the massive 1952 death toll:

Scientists finally know what caused a mysterious fog to kill 12,000 people in London in 1952

"The event in question is the "killer fog" that hit London for several days in 1952. First appearing on 5 December, it lifted four days later with an estimated death toll of at least 12,000 people, with around 150,000 hospitalisations and thousands of undocumented animal deaths. Although the Clean Air Act was passed partly in response four years later, the actual causes of the incident have gone unknown until now.
Through atmospheric measurements of fog in China, and laboratory experiments, Texas A&M researcher Dr Renyi Zhang and his team came up with their answer: nitrogen dioxide converting comparatively benign sulfur dioxide into lethal sulfuric acid.
"People have known that sulfate was a big contributor to the fog, and sulfuric acid particles were formed from sulfur dioxide released by coal burning for residential use and power plants, and other means," explained Zhang. "But how sulfur dioxide was turned into sulfuric acid was unclear."

===================
Acid Rain was not the big scare it originally was as it very limited in small local areas.
Smog is no longer a major problem in many parts of the world, who have cleaned up the Coal emissions with technology. Most of it is still exist in Asian and in some European nations.
You wrote this weirdly,
"What evidence do you have in echoing the argument that the ice cap is a natural occurrence, and not a result of pollution? "
Todays Arctic sea ice level are well above the average for the interglacial period, even with some dark dust particles on small parts of the Arctic region.
Please explain that to the Inuit people and the polar bears, the inter-glacial period has lasted over 11,000 years. What changed during the last 2 centuries?
Gawad!
Do even realize that the INTERGLACIAL period is better for them than Glaciation period?
Polar Bears are CURRENTLY enjoying a large population growth of several decades.
Low summer sea ice levels has little impact on Polar Bear dietary habits.
You are so clueless.
Where do you get you "information"? Clearly you've never learned to debate civilly.
