haven't got time right now to look at all of it, but...
carbond dioxide does not cause temperature changes - on average carbon dioxide levels lag 800 years AFTER temperature changes - look at the data from the carbon dioxide information analysis centre. (cdiac[dot]ornl[dot]gov) - case closed.
Prolonging the debate past the "Knock-out blow" above, shows that this is being treated as a political question and not a scientific one.
The same site has an article on this issue, under "CO2 lags temperature". Essentially, CO2 can be both a forcing and a feedback. In other words, it can raise temperature on its own, or it can be released during a warming caused by something else (e.g. Milankovitch cycles) and amplify that warming. This kind of positive feedback effect - i.e. warming leading to further warming - explains why the climate has changed rapidly on occasions in the past, and why we should be concerned at warming now.
Stopping Climate Change...
It reminds me of King Canute.

@ttimothymurphy That depends on what caused the climate to change.
I'm interested to know which of the points here you disagree with:
Can't post url so google: skeptical science "Empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming"

Also, if CO2 can't raise temperature, then what is happening at 1:00 in the following video?
