There is no actual 'global warming' going on during the past 10 years, so now they renamed it to just 'Climate Change'. I have spent time doing research at a University, I know how it works and really all I can say is that our climate is far too complex to be fully grasped by our current state of science. Don't overestimate how much science actually can predict and explain, it's useful yes but it also has its flaws and limits.
I have no doubt that humanity is not managing the earth's resources very well and we are effectively destroying our environment, but trying to lower carbon emissions isn't going to help one bit. It only serves as another way to tax so governments can stick themselves deeper into debt. What has to happen is to stop our obsession with economic 'growth', because that's what makes us deplete resources faster and faster eventually leading to a catastrophy.
Your meta-scientific remarks non-withstanding, your remark about there being no warming during the last 10 years is misleading, hopefully out of ignorance, not malice.
There's plenty of high quality data (and data analysis) showing that for the past ~100 years, average temperature *has* been rising, that CO2 concentration and temperature change *are* correlated, that polar ice caps *are* reducing in thickness, etc.
The fact that there are years where the trend doesn't express itself in new record highs doesn't change that.

By the way, there's some irony that a lot of us in here would look at the above graph and say "It's clearly in a long term uptrend" if it were a graph of BTC price, but when it's about global warming, suddenly a short term trend reversal questions the entire long term trend.
