Because even if it is 100% inevitable "natural" climate change, I somehow doubt that the response should be "OK, then I'll just keep building coal plants and driving SUVs until we cook".

I'm having trouble following your last statement. If what we are doing does not affect the climate...then there is no reason to change what we're doing on a CLIMATE based theory.
Now...I can argue against dirty coal plants and gas guzzling SUV's on several other fronts:
1. Unhealthy pollution.
2. Funding of Islamic terrorism.
3. Balance of payments/national security
4. Inperative to develope alternates to a limited resource
5. etc.

The point of this thread is to discuss if man-made global warming is or is not a fact ...not to discuss what else we might like to change in the world.
