Alan, in your cognitive blindness you deny the possibility that much of the climate change your sources purport to observe is due to natural variation.  It follows that the measures we can take to slow climate change will only affect the proportion of change that's human-caused, and don't forget that by the EPA's estimate, permanently eliminating ALL of Washington State's carbon emissions will only reduce global warming in the year 2100 by 0.00025 degree C.  Maybe if those of you who are always claiming that 'we need to take action' would acknowledge the miniscule effects those actions are likely to have, then the rest of us might think you actually know what you're talking about and would take you more seriously.
