The degree to which global warming is anthropogenic is directly related to what, if anything, we can do. All this fuss and bother about reducing emissions is rather pointless if our greenhouse gas emissions aren't a significant contributing factor. Further, if this is a natural process, it's entirely possible that there isn't anything we can do, or indeed anything we should do.

So the argument is actually highly relevant.
