I'd love to know where you get your information from and note that you didn't include a reference.
Are you a climatologist, do you work with them, have you ever even met one? I didn't think so.
I can tell you quite categorically that the vast majority of climatologists I know and work with are very much aware that much of the current global warming trend is attributable to human causes. I can slso assure you that there is an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence that supports the anthropogenic contribution.
You might chose to ignore the evidence but it doesn't make it go away.

I don't know which climatologists you're quoting, but according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), "We conclude that warming caused by human activities has likely had a discernable impact on the global level on many physical and biological systems." There was little doubt about the science, which was based on 29,000 sets of data, much of it collected in the past five years. The final IPCC report is the clearest and most comprehensive scientific statement to date on the impact of global warming mainly caused by man-induced carbon dioxide pollution. The summary will be presented to the G8 summit of the world's richest nations in June, when the European Union is expected to renew appeals to President Bush to join in international efforts to control emissions. (Climate change to be dire by Arthur Max, Associated Press, April 7, 2007)
And another quote: "The IPCC, representing the world's leading climate scientists, reported in February that 'warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observation of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level.'" (Global warming may create new climates on Earth by Randolph E. Schmid, Associated Press) (I accidentally clipped off the date on that one, but it's a month or two old.)
So if you subscribe to an alternate position, you're not likely in good company.

You need to look beyond the climatologists. Sure they are saying that, but they are not politicians and musicians. Those are the real experts, they know whats really happening.
Soon they will lead by example and be giving up all there money and personal possessions to show they can be carbon neutral. This will also involve them not breathing anymore as well.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE. That's my motto.

you have not looked beyond your own back yard to make a statement like that .
HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT BELIEVE ,
THAT IS WHAT IS UNBELIEVEBLE
What about desertification due to deforrestation ,but speeded up by unusual hot Suns.
Water shortage .Rising seas
Croploss due to temperature changes ,
Heat and cold weaves that are killing people .
Flasfloods .
Mass exstinction of Flora and fauna ,many animals are becoming sick because of SMALL changes in temperature .
Insects are affected and some are going out of control such as the parasites that are killing the bees.
Vital links in the food chains are disapearing affecting other species further along in the chain.
We are witness to a mass exstinction ,for the first time since the dinosaurs, of the earth's estimated 10 million species, 300,000 have vanished in the past 50 years. each years, 3,000 to 30,000 species become extinct.
Everything is happening so fast it is not possible to monitor things any more.
------------------------------...
just for fun i asked a question in polls and surveys and again in religion
who thought Global warming was a lie ,and who was religious .
granted many people who believed in God and also believed in climate change .
but
the fact emerged that ALL of the people who denied Global warming ,who said it was a hoax ,were without any exceptions ,religious
FACT OR FICTION
many People are used to fiction and they feel more comfortable with fairytales instead of the truth.
Many blindly believe that our fate is in Gods hands ,and their focus is on the beautifull heaven.
------------------------------...
World leaders are not too concerned with the well being of the masses ,on the contrary .it was stated at a conference in Copenhagen,in 1998,by an American statesman , that the Agenda demanded a decrease in the world population of 60%,and you cannot achieve this if you start saving everybody.
Scientists who get paid by politicians have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change .
Change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,so most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.for political and economic reasons .
------------------------------...
HOWEVER CLIMATE CHANGE IS FACT FOR MILLIONS
Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects
This text only covers some aspects of global warming mainly man made desertification
Industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities ,is another story
There are natural cycles in the planets life
but mans existance has its effects,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms.
In North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result.
In china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms, that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert.
The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and many of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were very few desserts.
Collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,
Each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss
There is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
Each year 70 million more people have to eat and drink and wash
Farmers are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary , over grazing, overpumping deep carbon aquifiers.
RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
This does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.
The melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

if forrest are being exchanged for ashalt,concrete and desserts, what is gonna keep this planet habitable for us.
We as humanity can behave in a less stressful manner as far as the Environment is concerned ,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen.
