Jury in on climate change, so stop using arguments of convenience and listen to experts

You're trying to sound reasonable, but then you write stuff like this:

Skeptics would argue for more consideration of other factors forcing global warming such as increasing population generally and an already confirmed natural warming trend

Pray, what's that "confirmed natural warming trend"? Solar activity has been in decline since the 50s, so the natural trend since then is supposed to be that of cooling. Instead, we have warming. Where does that come from, in your opinion?

My reasoning goes like this: After NASA announced the hole in the ozone layer back in the 1980s and we determined the culprit, CFCs of which we still have some being produced <??!?>, we allowed the ozone hole to continue well into thirty years later without action other than banning some CFCs in the US and Europe

Don't know what you mean by that. The ozone layer is now actually recovering, and the Montreal protocol in which the global reduction of CFCs was agreed upon has actually been successful.

It may well be that the easiest answer to global warming would be to change the gases in the atmosphere: Pull CO2 from the atmosphere

That kind of solution is being studied. What you find is that pulling CO2 from the atmosphere costs a lot of energy. That energy needs to be produced through some means. Obviously, that shouldn't put more carbon into the atmosphere than you're pulling out. Which means renewables, or carbon capture. And if you can do that, then you can just as well reduce carbon concentrations without having to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere.

Generally, it should be pretty clear that geoengineeriing, despite being possible, should be a last resort rather than a first action. Why would you actively mess even more with the global climate if instead you could just stop messing with it in the first palce, and for far less money?

All some climatologists are offering is a carbon tax

That's the type of nonsense you keep hearing from fake climate "skeptics". If you bothered to read an IPCC report, you'd find that the suggested mitigation measures include: increased energy efficiency, change of land use, improved industrial processes, more renewable energy but also more gas and more nuclear energy, more efficient transport, etc.

Carbon pricing mechanisms are brought in by free marketeers who point out that these mechanisms are cheaper than mere capping regulations.
