No. No credible scientists can argue that global warming is a human-induced issue that is severly affecting the planet. The only 'scientists' that do believe global warming is not happening are being paid by companies like Exxon (which has paid over $15 million to these 'scientists').
Here is why.
CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.
Look at the 'hockeystick', which shows a dramatic warming since 1950 after a fairly stable climate for 1000 years. In fact, the 10 hottest years in recorded history have all happened since 1990, with 2005 being the hottest.
(see links below)
How's that for proof of man's fault in this? There is ample proof, any real scientist will tell you that.
There has NEVER been an article doubting man's influence on global warming published in a peer-reviewed journal. A recent study of almost 1000 proved that.
Yes, the earth naturally heats and cools, but the rate and amount we are warming now is unprecedented in the recent geologic past. We are doing this, and we must stop it. This is not some political statement or rhetoric. This is science trying to educate a crass, ignorant public of the damage they are doing. The magnitude of temperature increase ALREADY is about 10x that of the 'little ice age' of the middle ages, and rate and amount are only going up.
Just to be clear, glacial and interglacial cycles are mainly controlled by astronomical fluctuations, but we have a detailed record of the last 7 cycles, and what the climate and CO2 is doing now is way different and extreme. The rate of increase is much higher than in the past AND the value itself is much higher.

As much as global warming is in the headlines, don't you think any credible scientists would have come into the spotlight by now to try and prove that it is false?
I know many scientists, and there is nothing to show that global warming ISN'T true! When are people going to learn that this isn't a politcal issue! It's really happening to our planet and I don't care who it is: Democrat, Republican, WHOEVER! but, somebody has to bring it to the forefront so we can adjust our destructive way of life in order to insure a better future for our children and grand-children.
Tell me, how is that so bad?
That moron Al Gore (and other "moronic" scientists) have even come up with ways to stop global warming that will in no way keep companies from losing money, and in fact will create NEW jobs.
Do you research . . . from credible sources . . . as in, people who are educated in science and not politics.

There are NO credible scientists who say global warming is "false."
There are a lot of credible scientists who (rightly) argue and debate about some of the details of global warming (how long before the ice caps melt a certain percentage, how much reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will make a difference, etc.). That's all just healthy debate, which spurs the gathering of further evidence that can be evaluated.
But there are NO credible scientists who deny the fact of global warming.

Al Gore may be a moron, but you can't make up facts. No scientist denies that global warming is occurring. Lots of people want to fudge the data, but none of them are scientists.
If you are trying to prove it false, you're probably not a scientist either. Scientists gather data, and draw conclusions from that data. They don't draw conclusions and then support it with data, that's called "having an agenda".

Maybe you should look into it a bit more before choosing a side. As far as I know, pretty much all scientists who know anything about it agree that there is a global warming problem - the only debate seems to be whether or not we're causing it. But even if we aren't, we need to do what we can to reduce it.
Actually, there are a few astrophysicists out there who don't agree with global warming. I don't think they are all that credible on this topic, but one name you might look up is Salli Baliunus (Harvard CfA).

Am i scientist if i am a fluids engineer?
Concerning the globale warming i think it is the result of the human activies even without CO2 emissions.
But for now global warming is used ti hide the increasing of dryness by human activities in water cycle.
Together with global warming we can resolve the problem if we stop the over pumping of underground water reserves and irrigate all the planet. It is possible to do it.

"The moron Al Gore"? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Doesn't it seem a bit...well, IDIOTIC, to try to prove something false without having any evidence of it being false in the first place? Without having any knowledge of credible scientists to back up your little hypothesis?
Good luck...I doubt there are many credible scientists out there who agree with your narrow little mindset.

Global warming is true you retard! Al Gore is trying to get us all to wake up. Have you even seen his documentary? Its because of clueless morons like yourself that the planet is the shoddy state of affairs its in now! Idiot!

There are a number of them. Look up global dimming for a start. Also look into the Ice bore they are doing in antarctica that reveals the planet was far warmer many times.
Here are some other links.

Another area you should look into is suppression of facts. A number of scientists have lost funding for disagreeing with gloable warming because it wasn't the politically correct thing to do.
Also, ignore the people who are calling names. That's usually the result of somebody incapable of truly comprehending the subject matter so reverts to name calling instead. Its pretty typical of the liberal mindset, they suppress anything that disagrees with them through nasty comments and actions.

if they do tell them to come up here to where I live in Canada. IT has not been like this for TEN years. No freezing crap weather outside this year - with ten below zero or more. ITs GREEN outside !! the sun is out and I LOVE it. I am a selfish ..... I know it is global warming
