They myth that is man made global warming.

Let's say we kept pumping CO2 at current levels (and with a steady rize because of developing economies) - what do they think will happen?

Will sea levels rise 10 meters so that hundreds of millions of people in nations like Hollland and Bangladesh will be flooded?
Will the polar bears get extinct?
Will we all be fried by the sun?

And when will it start??

I can give you some facts here.

1. Sea level rise has been happening for tens of thousands of years (since the last ice age).  It actually was slightly slower in the 20th century than the preceding ones.  Unless there is a massive collapse of the Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets (remember, the Arctic ice is on top of an ocean, so even if it all melted sea levels would not rise), something thought not to be possible even in the worst-case scenarios for thousands of years, no, sea levels couldn't rise 10 meters.  In fact, sea ice levels are at above-average levels, Antarctica is expected to add glacial mass, and Alaskan glaciers recently have started advancing for the first time in hundreds of years.  So the answer is no, despite what Al Gore would have you believe, sea levels aren't going to rise more than a few inches at most.  Even the worst scenario predicted by the IPCC would result in 20 inches of sea level rise, and that is highly unlikely even according to them.

2. Polar bear populations are at record levels, despite the U.S. government declaring them "threatened."  Of 19 bear populations, 17 are stable or increasing.  The two that are decreasing are from overhunting, not lack of ice.

EDIT: By the way, here's what happens if you don't accept the global warming religion: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/5664069/Polar-bear-expert-barred-by-global-warmists.html

3. This won't happen.  Even the worst-case IPCC scenario only predicts up to 7 degrees Fahrenheit warming by 2100, hardly enough to "fry" anyone.  Although obviously their models are incorrect (all 30 that they use; they average 30 models to get their predictions...which sounds good, until you realize that all 30 are wrong) since they predicted rapid warming since 1998 that hasn't happened, even while CO2 emissions have increased beyond what they predicted in their worst-case scenario.

These facts add up to excellent reasons to be suspicious of what people are selling.  When people start telling you that global warming is now called "climate change" and that it is this horrible thing that is causing COOLING, if you have any brains you are going to be skeptical of that claim.
