Hey, we've got this humongeous population explosion, right? Well, they all are giving off body heat --- way more than the trivial population of times past. We run, exercise, there are fights & wars : good grief, we're heating things up, especially when you ad in all the extra strenuous exercise from the new wave of extreme sports enthusiasts! Then, to top it all off, these millions upon millions of people are having a terrible time sticking to a proper, low-emissions diet. Yeah, that's right, millions more people all passing gas : that shoots the methane levels through the roof, right?! -- And that's a greenhouse g-a-s! So, tell me, doc, are we all going to gas ourselves to extinction? I hope not : we should all eat more responsibly : less beans and more greens, huh?! Pity us, since even cutting back may not make up for the body temperature of so many more human beings on this planet. -- Still, I think that guy from Spain had a good thought about the forest fires everywhere

"what else besides mankind?"
Anthropogenic sources are only a piece of the picture.
According to a study by German and Swiss scientists, greenhouse gases can't take all the blame for global warming: The sun is contributing, too. Research results show that the sun, which began brightening 100-150 years ago, may be the strongest it has been in 1,000 years.

Ever see the episode of south park where everyone holds theyre gas because of that theory and they all start to explode from no release?
They also say that every year the earth gets a little bit closer to the sun, in a few million years the earth would be to hot to inhabit anyways. Good thing I'll be long gone.
Chill out.

We had global warming and an ice age before cars, power plants or the space shuttle was invented.
Did the dinosaurs fart too much?
One volcanic eruption can emit as much pollution (greenhouse gasses) as every car & truck in the world does in 10 years.
What makes us so arrogant to believe what we do really has as much impact as the alarmists claim?

Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming and then come back and say all the scientists are wrong. Idiot.
It sure is convenient to sit back and make jokes about it, ignoring all the evidence at the expense of future generations.

there was a time when our world was almost covered with ice. it all melted (global warming?). then the world became covered with ice again. it all melted again. both times homo sapiens did not have the numbers or the technology to do it. why suppose we can do it now.

No, No, No ... the very latest "studies" show that flatulence from cows is far worse, so I guess we'll have to killl all the cows and live without burgers. DARN!!!
