When will the fact that it doesnt matter what caused it penetrate? Mankind can help reduce the amount of bad emissions so why doesnt he do so quickly? Money.

Every person should really do what they can to reduce their footprint on the planet, period. It doesn't matter if Carbon contributes to "Global Climate Change" or not. The net results of pollutants we release can be observed on a much more local scale. That is, large power plants spewing crap in to the air in Boston lowers the air quality in Boston.
Nobody's arguing that mankind is not wasteful or couldn't do a much better job at taking care of this planet of ours. The argument is wether or not it's prudent to declare Carbon as the problem to end all problems, regulate and tax the shit out of, and run along as if everything else is normal.
