The data is extremely scary. Global temperature trends are about to drop out of the bottom of the 95% confidence interval for academic climate predictions[1]. Do we really want to live in a world where people are not whipped up into an environmentalist hysteria?

Cool, best possible outcome. Now if only we understood all the feedback mechanisms.. so what is your actual proposal? No change of course? Gentle change of course? There are a lot of responses that are not hysteria. (And a very genereral term you chose there, since many of the problems are only loosely related as of now. Recycling won't really help, for example.)
