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.  

I am not a qualified scientist but  reading about it on the internet or watching youtube for information on environmental science is good enough for me. Anyone can call themselves a scientists regardless if they are qualified or unqualified. 

Climate change and global warming needs to be universally recognised as a Religion and not-for-profit organisation. Then it can make more profits and pay no tax and build up a much larger global supporter base. Save the planet is the Environmental activist motto.

The climate change denial scientists are not real scientists they are paid by Rupert Murdoch and other billionaire Jesuits to claim  climate change and global warming is false. Most of the expert scientists have an open minded view on the possibility that man may be a factor behind climate change and global warming. Exponential human growth, population growth out of control in poor third world developing nations. Human growth is like a cancer that keeps spreading and destroying everything to maintain its own survival.  

Population growth restriction policies should be put in place by governments to slow down and hopefully reduce populations in the long term. China's one child policy should become universal law. The whole world may have to follow China as the leader on human rights issues. China has survived for 2000 years, a lot longer than any other nation on Earth. The rapid age of industrialisation in the last 200 years has sped up exponentially due to the growth in the human population in the last 50 years. 

1960 = 2 billion humans

2010 = 7 billion humans.

2060  = 12 billion humans.

Assuming 1 billion growth every 10 years. 100 million more natural increase annual growth trend continues. Big problems loom. Humans are the greatest threat to the world's environment and the future survival of the . Destruction of the environment and plundering the finite resources. 

I honestly do not know if you are being serious. I hope not, blind faith of any kind is dangorous

Solar power eh?

Where do you expect to build it?

Solar panels are damn huge, and clearing out the place to build those things in turns destroys wildlife.

Its not so easy ;)

We really need to take the space we have already used, and use it to the maximum.

For example, urban wind turbines, solar cells for windows/on the roof.

All this is just way too expensive though ...

Actually there once was a nuclear plant in fukui japan that leaked sodium a few times which has killed people.

As for something like Chernobyl, yeah I dont think so.

Whether it's man-made or not we absolutely have to slow it down to survive.

Which is why the overexageration and completely unscientific method about deciding who's fault it is, is amazingly damaging.

Geoengineering is GREATLY derided and ignored by the pro man made global warming crowd.

Really only skeptics that it's man's fault are the only people funding it and studying it.

Which one's geoengineering?  Is that the one with the hot gas or radiation that comes out of the ground?

I support all renewable energies.  There's at least 30 we know about by now.  I say we fund the hell out of all of them and see which are the most efficient.

Neither.

Geoengineering isn't a renewable energy.  Geoengineering is exactly what it sounds like, the engineering of earth.

Say either this climate change is natural, or one in the future is natural.  Renewable energy isn't going to do jack.

However, whether or not it's man made or natural.... BOTH kinds can be countered with say... phytoplanktin being put in the oceans to lock up carbon.  Espeically genetical altered phytoplanktin that absorbs more carbon then usual.

Or different things seeding the clouds that will capture carbon dioxide out of the air, sulfur aersols, things that make it rain, solar radiation management....

these are "hard" controls that would work far better then renewable energies as far as global warming is concenred.  Renewable energies should be funded for different more practical reasons.

However due to the renewable energy lobbies and carbon tax lobbies Geoengineering gets branded as "inconvient" to look into because it may take away from their positions.

Even though in reality it may be the only thing that could save us.

Heck, even if it is man made.... if we've already hit the tipping point, OR will hit it soon.(which a lot of these people think is the case)  It's the only thing that can save us anyway... so it's ridiculious that they openly campaign against funding said research.

Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
