Don't do anything assuming climate change is just natural change over time, and if we're wrong we potentially ruined the planet for future generations.
Seems like an easy decision to me and doesn't require us to pretend either side is 100% certain of anything. Consequences are just much worse if we don't do anything and are wrong.

Using scientific method, you most definitely start by making assumptions.
What you do not do, is draw conclusions based on your assumptions. That is not science. It is called guessing.
