I reckon you have summed it all up Modena.
I have recently been working in island regions of north Sulawesi Indonesia, where whole communities are leaving villages they have lived in for generations for higher land, due to ocean rising. For them the sky does seem to be falling in.
However, many Indonesian provinces are well ahead of us with alternative power sources. Many now have hydro everywhere, even micro hydro in small rivers and solar. Our reality will change more slowly.

Smart human species have been moving out of fertile regions of Africa for hundreds of thousands. The most recent and only successful migration happened about 50,000 years ago. Bringing Aborigines to Australia about 49,000 years ago. And eventually spreading the species all over the planet. All due to weather pattern changes. The Ocean then was about 400 feet lower than it is now and in prehistory has also been higher than it is now.
Why do we have the audacity think that during this current lifetime it has to be 72 and sunny every day to please us. We do not live on a static planet. Is it the naiveté' or is it arrogance to think we can stop an ice age.
I wonder if our ancestors whined as much when they had to move to survive.
I wonder too if we have lost that great survival instinct when we encounter another massive ice age. And will it be like New Orleans, on a grander scale and we wait for the great rescue.
I'm more worried about the banks than global warming.
I think a lot of this Global Warming hype is just another way to make us spend money.
You must have a new low emissions enviro friendly car etc. Never mind the impact to the environment and resources in manufacturing that new car. Not our problem though since it was probably built somewhere else. In my opinion keeping an old car well tuned and maintained will have a lot less impact on the environment than building a whole new one. Of course there's not a lot of profit in this for anyone and not a lot of extra income for the banks off the money you borrowed to buy the new fangled Toymota.
I've been doing a bit of reading on the history of world banking lately and it's very disturbing.

Mike, After you finish reading about the evolution, the degree of control, and the greed of banks, you should then read how Governments pull the wool over all our eyes.
Notice I said Governments and not polititians because most pollies do not really understand how the economy of a nation with a sovereign currency actually works.

Mike, If you like that, you might want to watch ZEITGEIST, The movie.
Feel free to google and watch on you tube.
As is known by most economists, that the purpose of taxes, of whatever type (we are discussing carbon here) is to control the spending of the working class.
I don't know if there is a pending crisis with carbon emissions but I have read heaps from both sides of the argument and are non the wiser.
However, if there is a genuine crisis that needs mountains of money thrown at it then there are other ways for that to happen besides introducing another form of tax.
Unfortunately, some of those alternatives will hurt the balance sheets of those with a vested interest, hence the tax.

Not sure..... Does that mean we introduce the tax then China keeps on going at it. They produce, sell to us as we have a carbon tax that effectively puts us out of the manufacturing realm.
Yes makes sense, introduce a tax, put us all out of business and we buy from a country that has no tax. Whoa why didn't I think of it before the Greens and Gillard. ..
The difference between a propper scientist and a knob head is that a scientist will change their opinion in the light of superior evidence. A knob head will just ignore the evidence. Please see this link re Dr Evans Dr David Evans: born-again ‘alarmist’? « BraveNewClimate
Are you sure we account for 1.3% of global emmissions? That sounds way too high. We only have 0.33 % of the worlds population.

.....It was Pasted direct from the article Posted... so it could well be a typo....I will not profess to having any factual knowledge on this..I just grabbed and pasted it here!!!
It is after all Dr. Evans so one must chose whether to beleive or not!!!!!

Will the dishonest mass media ever admit that they fell for this crap and continued the panic by propagating misinformation.
Wonder why Al Gore vanished from the scene.? Tell's you something that after promoting 20 foot+ sea level increase this mentor and loud mouth on Global Warming rushed out and purchased a multi-million $ beach front dwelling. Well done Mr. Gore!!!!!!!
Yes great driving1 weekend. Took the GT40 to the Autofest in Mt.Gambier. A 220 kilometre round trip from Portland.
Went over very early in crisp cool air - Mmmm nice slow run!! The highway patrol were still in bed. Shaved 20 minutes off the one hour trip!! Car ran really well.
The local news paper had a 50 year edition/copy of the paper 'December 1960' included in an edition last month.
Guess what the main article was about - five weeks of heat and no rain followed by heavy rain and flooding. Think I have read this before!!
No wonder the old guys around here and the farmers keep saying it is a cycle. Now I know what they mean.
