It would be both more honest and more to the point to say that even in the short term there are reasons to get off dirty combustion rather than trying to hang pollution issues on the climate hook.

The Climate Vulnerable Forum Report: Really Not Very Good At All - Forbes

[Worstall] My own entirely personal opinion is that climate change is happening, we’re causing it and it’s a problem bad enough that we ought to do something about it. But that case is not aided by people releasing reports like this one, reports that only look at the damages from climate change and do not look at the benefits that accrue from the use of those very fossil fuels that lead to climate change. For example, if we looked only at these costs then we might way that we’d better stop using carbon based fuels immediately. Yet how many billions of people would die if we did that?

The 1940s hump in SST is Real. « Tallbloke's Talkshop

Answer, there was only one weak La Nina in the entire decade. So not only do we need to be concerned with the peaks in the temperature record of the El Nino events, but the lack of troughs from La Nina events which didn’t happen. The 1940′s ‘hump’ is real, and not so much affected by measurement techniques as recently claimed, and this is important, for the following reason.

The AGW promoters conducted a smear campaign against scientist Georg Ernst Beck and his collation of CO2 measurements from the period before Keeling’s Mauna Loa measurements started in the late 1950′s. This is because he found elevated reading in the 1940′s.

This does not fit the AGW narrative because it demonstrates a dependency of co2 levels on temperature they do not want to consider, or anyone else to consider for that matter.

Evan Juska: Why the UN Still Matters on Climate Change

First, there is no solving climate change without international cooperation, and the UN is still the most likely forum for achieving it. The global nature of climate change creates little incentive for countries to try to solve it on their own, which is why cooperation remains essential.

If anyone believes the predictions that CO2 may kill millions of people, why wouldn't that belief be sufficient incentive for countries to act on their own?
