Insects produced 100's of times the so-called green house gases than humans and domesticated animals do. It's a fact, and saying that a single termite is too small to pollute isn't science.

These comparisons between insects and humans are extremely amateur. Six BILLION humans is the problem. Not ants, not natural cycles, not delusional fantasies that a rapid warming trend of the last 100-150 years is somehow "natural" or that humans have no appreciable impact or that the planet isn't overpopulated.
Give. Me. A. F*cking. Break. Already.
I thought some of you people were smarter than that.

I deal in science, not alchemy. What you've posted above is alchemy, it's bunk posing as fact. I'd suggest you do research on the subject.
Start with
The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World by Professor Bjorn Lomborg, University of Aarhus, Denmark, published by the Cambridge University press. Though it's about 6 years out of date, it's information is still quite accurate. You'll find that most of your "knowledge" about the environment is wrong.
