It had a guy sitting in a doctor's office.

Doctor: I have some bad news. Your tests show you have a terrible disrase, that if it goes untreated, will lead to slow and painful death. But the good news is 99 out of a 100 doctors agree, the disease can be treated with a quick, simple; but, frankly, painful procedure.

Patient: When can I get in to see the 1 doctor?

No CC for them!

So much for measurements and methodology.

Do we wring our hands and whine when a hurricane or an earthquake strikes? Or do we do the things necessary to mitigate the damage before it occurs by strengthening building codes, etc.?

The discussion should be what do we do about climate change, not trying to pin 'blame' on its cause.

If one of the causes is human release of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, then cutting the amount of those gases released is part and parcel of mitigation.

As long as we skip that part and just say, "It's happening. Let's build seawalls," then we're missing a major part of the mitigation picture.
