Nature.
I do not buy the eco-greenie right agenda on this one. The Earth goes through ice ages and warm periods. There may be a slight increase because of the sheer idiocy of cutting down rainforests, polluting the oceans which kills algae which is likely to have greater impact that our cars as an overall percentage. If we all stopped driving tomorrow, stopped producing power etc, we would NOT reverse global warming or even slow it down measurably.
There are plenty of other reasons to alter our technology and change our ways somewhat. Global warming isn't the main one by a long way-but it's a great fear motivator-where you have fear, you can legislate and above all TAX. Welcome to the new bogie man.
A few always seek to control the many, whether it's by religion, terror or just simply fear, guilt and hope. This isn't a conspiracy theory, there are real dangers in our polluting out there and I wish to see full and complete facts being argued about, and worked on. Not just a flaming eco-right excuse for a pile of taxation and ripoffs. Which is what we in the UK in particular are about to receive soon up the rear end because we're mainly too bloody passive (and dumb) to look beyond the fear style rhetoric being spouted in support of the obvious means of raising tax.
So basically for global I blame nature itself, with a little help from us twats cutting down the rain forests and eroding green land, and only the tiniest help from emissions.
For poisonous and dangerous pollution, resource hogging and wasting and greed politics I blame mankind. I'm not blind, I just don't like being sold on fear and taken for an idiot. I know I and everyone else is being taken for a ride on the global warming bandwagon, the same goes for the terrorism bandwagon-but that's another arguement which I still need evidence for :-)

The U.S. holds less than 5 percent of the world's population but produces nearly 25 percent of carbon emissions.
Oil made up 43 percent of global carbon emissions from fossil fuels in 2002, while coal accounted for 37 percent; natural gas made up the remainder.
Most of these were used to generate electricity with only about half the oil being used for transport. This includes cars, trucks and buses but crucially also shipping and aircraft.
Modern scientific thinking uses"Climate Change" rather than "Global Warming." since climate change can be demonstrated and obeys scientific models whilst the Global Warming model has problems in that whilst it can show warming it cannot explain the areas of the globe which are cooling.

Everyone who drives cars. The big business folks who use mass amounts of harmful materials just for a little profit.

Some of our most precious resources are being pilfered
to make a lot of the cheap worthless crap that Wal-mart
sells.
