Correlation of what? Man-made CO2 output and atmospheric CO2 levels? Or 
atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperature? Both have pretty good 
(and not too difficult for the non-scientist to understand) physical 
explanations for the causation link.

It depends on the potential outcomes. You'd probably not want to wait 
until you were 99% sure you were going to die of heart disease before 
changing your lifestyle and allowing doctors to help you. Whenever 
assessing any risk or failure mode, you need to take into account both 
the chance of something happening AND how severe that event is.
