You are going to need a LOT of help for this.
Start with proving that we've got a flat earth (how else could Satan take Jesus to a "high mountain" and show him all the kingdoms of earth). Say if science is wrong about something as basic as the shape of the earth, you KNOW they're wrong about global warming. Then add a LOT of scripture to fill up 2 pages.
Interesting you asked a science question HERE.

If you actually intend to support your position with facts, there is no way to claim that global temperatures have not increased in the last 100 years, and especially the last 30 years. The actual historical records pretty clearly indicate that the temperatures have increased.
However, you could argue about the alleged role of human activity in the observed climate changes. The analysis of carbon isotopes has shown that human activity is the source of a whole lot of the carbon dioxide increases since the start of industrialization, but not all of it. You might have some wriggle room there.
You could also present evidence of past global climate changes, some of which were of considerably greater magnitude than even the levels projected by apocalyptic globabl warming alarmists. During the Paleocene there were tapirs, flying lemurs and giant trees on Ellesmere Island (which was then, as now, above the Arctic Circle).
So while you may not be able to deny that global warming is happening, you may be able to find sufficient evidence to indicate that it might not be man made, and it might not be as bad as some people predict.

Good luck with that. Nearly all the science says it is already happening and will continue.
About the only things I can think of, as devil's advocate, that you could use are:
* The hole in the ozone layer sometimes shrinks, you could pick a year that it got smaller
* You could argue that we are in fact headed for an ice age, not warmer temperatures (which is actually the end result of global warming, but skip this part)
I would suggest you google something like "global warming fallacy" to get people who think that this won't happen.
Good luck!

You're totally correct
I am persuaded.
Global warming is NOT going to happen.
It already is happening.....
The only dispute, is whether it is just part of a natural cycle (and there's no denying those occur), or whether man-made activity is accelerating the process. The science supports the latter. Check out Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" for an introduction to the subject.
The fact you've asked this question in R&S speaks volumes....faith isn't just about ficticious deities, it can also be about junk science.

The answer is 42.

It's already happening, so you're simply out of luck. Should've chosen a more logical topic.

Why not take it to a science page? Jim

it is going to happen because of republicans want to strip the planets resources,

Have you looked at the ozone layer lately?

Can't really help you there, buddy. Since it is happening and all.
