LOL you're questioning the whole scientific community? Dude, these people can count back millions of years and figure out exactly what the temperature, CO2 levels were back then. They can look at that and see what it should be at now. We're not living in the dark ages. Our understanding of weather and climate is pretty high.

If the first Ice Age happened without any human involvement, I don't find it that hard to believe that humans played only a minuscule part in the coming of the second one. |
Nobody is disputing the fact that the temperature is supposed to go up. The problem is that temperatures are going up faster than they should be.

And since I'm on both sides of the fence, I'll have no less of a problem saying that to people who defend the theory than as the people who refute it. |
That's a nice way of saying "I'll decide what sources are credible and which aren't"
