FWIW, I did vote, and I did vote pro-AGW, but not until my vote's weight didn't make much visible difference in the graph.
I think climate change is obviously occurring, and my impression is that overall the change is towards both warming and destabilization (i.e. a tendency towards extremes in both directions), and I think it's obvious that human behavior has some effect on the climate and that the tendency of this effect is pro-warming overall.
However, I am not at all sure how much of the trend is to be placed at the feet of us CO₂ producers, nor am I at all convinced of the desirability (let alone the necessity) of a lot of the laws and the like proposed as ways to deal with the situation. Nor am I convinced that any particular type of climate or level of average surface temperature, be it that of today, that of 1000 years ago, or that of my childhood, is necessarily the ideal one that all possible efforts ought to be expended to maintain or return to.
