And now for my comment:

Climate change is already killing us. It's not because climate change is some devil, it's that we're too stupid to do anything about it.

Instead of focusing on whether it's happening and why, we should focus on educating the masses on getting prepared. The biggest issues are rising sea level, ground instabilities (I wonder what happens when permafrost thaws? And other issues... droughts etc), and freak storms that seem to be happening more frequently.

Let's use some of the industrial and technological ingenuity that got us here and refocus it on life saving solutions, moving people to safer locations, and rotating our farmland/etc to more productive areas following this climate change. Carbon taxes and slowing our emissions won't save your grandchildren's life when the flood wipes out the food supplies or the tornadoes rip them to shreds.

Edit: tl;dr: the past is the past, gov't/media/nutbars should quit shaming us for the choices our grandparents made, and let's solve the issues that will affect our grandchildren.
