Obviously the argument isn't whether global warming occurs but whether or not it is becoming more rapid due to man-made causes starting with the Industrial Revolution. Personally I have no problem with people questioning whether or not man is causing it. However, what I do have a problem with is people claiming that the scientists are wrong when they don't even have the ability to prove the scientists who claim it wrong. I'm all for being on the fence about things, but don't make truth claims about stuff that you not only have no idea about whatsoever, but also on one that you claim to know more than a Phd. A little Socratic wisdom as a good piece of advice.
Me personally, obviously I'm not a scientist in that field. I have taken a class in environmental science, and a few other courses that deal with global warming. The general consensus I'm getting from the world that works in the field is that not only can man affect the world's climate, but they are causing significant amounts of it now. From what I see, there is no dispute in the science and no wiggle room. Research has been done and come to a pretty confident conclusion. Although, even with all that, I still hold my doubts as might not be able to see this fully from such a small window. Human life is very tiny compared to that of mother earth and maybe 500 years from now with more data we might have a different answer. But the only grounds I have to say that is just my personal opinion, which unfortunately doesn't go far as I'm just a political science major.
