My view is not at odds at all. Climate change cycles occur naturally, of course, but the activities of humanity in the modern Industrialised period have had an increasingly harmful effect, so it doesn't really matter whether the current cycle is or isn't of natural origin in the first instance, as we are most certainly adding to it to a potentially catastrophic effect. Tha't the nub of the matter. It's a cases of barn doors and horses at the end of the day. The point that matters above all else is addressing our actions now. We've already passed the critical point in terms of forthcoming ramifications, so damage limitation sounds rather glib in this instance.
