"Correlation does not equal causation" is just hand waving. In this case, we have a specific and well-understood causal effect. Saying that "it seems narcissistic" to believe human action can effect the climate is only an ad hominem attack. We could just as easily say that it is naive and short sighted to think that we can't.
Ultimately, none of this addresses the core of my question. If you want to dispute an established theory that explains the existing data you either need to either come up with a new theory that better explains the data or find new data that is not explained by the theory. I will wait patiently for you to do so.
