I know for me, I pay my CC bill in full every month (often every week). Not only do I not pay any interest, but I get cash back on all the money I spend, which incentivizes me to put as much stuff on the card as I can.

I have a theory that climate is unaffected by mankind in any way, and is currently exactly the same as it would have been whether or not mankind existed. Of course following your rules, this theory is wrong by default and has to be proven correct. I haven't been able to do that yet. Thus until we can prove my theory wrong, the only logical conclusion is that mankind is causing the climate of the earth to change.
