Didn't somebody just ask the exact same thing a couple questions down? Oh well, I'll give you the same answer I gave there:
The fact that temperatures are increasing can't be denied. The evidence is just too strong to ignore.
Now there are of course still a few people who question whether or not humans are causing it, but since there is a well developed, internally consistent theory that predicts the effects we are observing, and the "skeptics" have failed to provide a valid model or theory whereby CO2 does not affect the temperature, and presented evidence of some other natural forcing, I have no choice but to accept that it is not only real but, at least partially, human caused.

The sun is brighter and hotter than it has been in the last 1,000 years. That is an alternative forcing and the shrinking of Martian polar ice caps tends to back up the increased solar radiation argument.
And there is no reason to put the word skeptics in quotes; skepticism is a valid and important scientific tool.

Absolutely not. If you recall the big article in Newsweek back in the 1970's, they were carrying on about the impending "doom" of Global Cooling. These so-called "scientists" are basing all of their predictions on "junk science".

I don't know much about glabal warming, and don't know if it's believeable or not. But if you mean gobal warming, then I think it exist. I do believe in what scientists are trying to tell me.

Is it something you believe in? I'm sorry, i thought it was a fact. It is happening and we need to fix it.
