Whoa, am I getting tired of posting the following:
FACT: Greenhouse gases trap heat.
FACT: Man is producing ever larger quantities of greenhouse gases.
LOGICALLY: Man must be contributing to global warming. The only debate left is how big an impact and what we should do about it.
From the following link:
http://www.hydrogen.co.uk/h2_now/jou...al_warming.htm
"It is accepted by all, including climate change sceptics, that increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will lead to increased global warming."
"Because of the "above normal" level of CO2 already in the atmosphere we are already committed to a certain amount of global warming because the excess CO2 will remain effective for many years. In addition the continued burning of fossil fuels will continue to add to the atmospheric burden of CO2. This warming will inevitably cause some climate change."
Also see the following link for more on the mainstream scientific theories regarding global warming:

"Well i hate to inform some people of this but science is not a concensus,it is fact(look up concensus)." loki
No, I'm afraid your wrong, when something cannot be proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, such as a 100% causal relationship between man-made CO2 and increases in global temperatures, there is only consensus/theory.

"It has been proven that at least one volcanic eruption that has happened in the last one hundred and fifty years released more greenhouse gases than all of human history combined." loki
Very true loki, nature can screw us six-ways to Sunday is she wants to. That does not mean we should not be responsible for mankinds actions. The relatively mild climate we see on Earth currently can turn very bad very quickly if something such as runaway global warming, or the failure of the North Atlantic Conveyer Belt, were to happen. Our actions may trigger such events. Billions of humans may die!

"Plus i go by the belief that we are a part of nature and the cosmos itself.Anything we do IS a part of nature(or do you consider us beyond it)." loki
Ah, the old, "I am a child and not responsible for my actions so I can do anything I like" mind-set. Science has always been about the advancement of mankind.
"Plus have you ever though of the fact that more carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases have brought higher crop yields to a growing humanity(in the billions)." loki
Crop yields have improved because of increasing temperatures but this will reverse if temperatures continue to increase.
