Britains have only mastered simple dentistry in the last 20 years, and we're to take that as token evidence of global warming as a fraud?
But seriously--between 1.5 and 2 trillion tons of ice have melted in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska since 2003 and global warming is a farce? While I agree there is a level of fraudulent artifice lent to the campaign, it's hard to deny that we're having an accelerated impact on the natural warming cycle of the planet. Look at graphs going back since weather's been recorded--minute fluctuations can have much larger impacts.

the big issue is whether or not the activity of man is affecting the global warming cycle in any appreciable way.
im leaning towards no, since, for one thing, a single major volcano eruption ECLIPSES all the garbage man has ever put into the air, ever. so lets say a particular eruption was 1% larger than it was and man didn't exist, you'd have exactly the same amount of junk in the air.

Ok, people, you all need to watch the episode of "Bullshit!" that points out that the carbon credit companies can do whatever they want with the money you give them - carbon credits are completely fictitious fabrications.
Al Gore, who uses 20 times more electricity than the average american, buys carbon credits FROM A COMPANY THAT HE OWNS and then claims he's carbon neutral.
WATCH!

Awesome show. I'd never seen it.
But boy does it make me want to start up my own carbon credit business... If only i didn't have a conscience. How does Gore do it?

he got into eating babies back in the late '70s, and hasn't had a moral qualm about anything since.

Interesting fact: While cow poop will grow magic mushroom, horse poop will not.

RE: magic mushroom factoid...I did NOT know that.

I will agree that global warming is occurring, but I am still skeptical that man is necessarily causing it.

However, you could also reasonably conclude that in the past we did not have humans releasing enormous amount of CO2 and raising ridiculous numbers of cows putting methane in the atmosphere. Eliminate those two elements and climate change would no longer be an issue.
But, to your point, it is not completely the fault of humans. Unfortunately, we are the only living creatures that have the ability to work on a solution. Because, no matter who is at fault, the planet is changing rapidly and something needs to be done.
