You'll wait for honest data while realists watch the polar caps melt.

See, that, in itself, is the political talking point. Nobody that has
crap for brains denies that is happening. The "WHY" is what is
important. Good science will tell us whether man is contributing 99%
or 1% to the temperature rise. Neither Hannity nor Gore are going to
give you good science, but if you are having an acute attack of
cognitive dissonance they probably have a temporary cure for that.

No cognitive dissonance. The "good science" argument is a delay
tactic. There's plenty of good science.

If we cannot conclusively prove man has XX% involvement in global
warming, should we simply sit back and do nothing?

That's cognitive dissonance.
