Scientific concensus:

The Earth is currently experiencing a warming trend - pretty universal.

Human activity is contributing to global warming - widely accepted, with some debate as to the matter of degree.

We must do something RIGHT NOW or the ENTIRE EARTH IS DOOMED! DOOMED I SAY! - Oh, please.

The global warming hysterics are just as idiotic as those who deny it's even occuring. Warming is occuring, and it is likely to present some problems in the long term. However, many of the things that are contributing to global warming are also the things that are improving quality of life. The debate to be had is when to trade off one thing for another, and the obstinate loudmouths on either extreme is making that debate next to impossible.
