Just a little lesson in reality: exaggeration for effect rarely produces the intended effect. Usually it just serves to trivialize the argument of the exaggerator. Especially since you changed your argument midstream from "we are completely responsible for climate change" to "we are completely responsible for climate change forcing."
As far as the issue goes, not many people are saying that we don't need to do anything. But a lot of people are saying that "OMG! EVERYBODY PANIC!! DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING, NOW!" is not a wise course. i.e.: Dion's Green Scam. (incidentally, I'm noticing that the very few Liberal signs that are finally going up don't have the Green Shift logo that the ones that went up immediately do)
