"That being coal as a source of construction materials that are stronger than steel, I am talking of carbon fibers and other industrial valuable chemicals."
That's beyond dubious. Coal is priced in dollars per ton, while carbon fiber is dollars per pound and nanotubes are dollars per gram or centigram. Point being - what are the volumes for these uses? Nothing compared with the volumes needed to burn for electricity, I'd wager.

"The carbon dioxide theory is simple, straightforward, and suggestive. But, it really doesn't fit the data. So, the best answer I have is this: we do not know. Are we really willing to contort the world economy causing massive upheavals for a maybe? I wouldn't."
Actually, the 'straightforward' Co2 impact on climate estimation would give you only 1.2C warming with a doubling of Co2, and that would happen at a logarithmic rate, meaning we have to increase to 550ppm from current 390ppm to equal the impact of the CO2 put since start of industrial revolution.
The dirty secret of the bogus IPCC estimates is that they have 'gamed' the models to create a 4X feedback so instead of 1.2C, they (eg Hansen of NASA GISS) get 4C impact. ONly with those higher sensitivities can they estimate a list of horribles happening to the world.. . yet its a fraud, disproven ALREADY by the non-rise of temperature in recent years and the fact that 60 years of temperature data shows about 0.4C rise so far. the SIMPLE reason is that 0.4C of 30% rise in CO2 that was OBSERVED, if extrapolated, takes us to the 1.2C climate sensitivites number. the models created a dubious feedback quantity that does NOT show up in temperature data. Data and exagerrated models dont match!
The IPCC models are to 'climate science' what the rating agencies and their AAA stickers on CMBS were to the housing bubble: Perpetuating a fraud by using the bogus veneer of authority to 'validate' corrupt and wrong asertions.
The best thing we could do is stop the global warming nonsense in its tracks.

"The rate of change has not changed and anyone who claims differently either want a government grant, want to make money from the ignorant, has a political agenda or is just plain dumb."
I agree, and so does the temperature trend. 2008 was colder than 8 of the previous 11 years. You know how the lying media presented that fact? "2008 was 9th warmest year on record". Except we had a PDO warming trend that just flipped last year.
Global warming is overhyped bad science. There is a big hidden agenda of social(ist) engineers and wannabe carbon traders. Its a scam!
