The sun warms the earth. How much of that heat gets to the earth varies due to cosmic radiation. This is a proven fact.
As the air warms, the ocean warms and oceanic algae grows and prospers. This emits millions times more CO2 than humans could possibly do. It takes around 800 years for the oceans (which cover 2/3rds of this planet) to warm and therefore the relationship between a rise in CO2 and the air temperature is that the increase in CO2 will come 800 years after any significant warming in air temperature. This again is a proved fact.
Put simply there really isn't much humans, as a relatively insignificant species inhabiting this planet, can do to change or cause global warming.
What we are doing though is crippling the third world. We are dictating to poor countries in Africa Asia and South America that they cannot build power stations to burn fossil fuels, leaving these countries with no electricity. This means poor schools, hospitals, basically keeping them poor
