Only if you believe it is happening.
If you do, relax!

Possibly. We certainly need to be good stewards of our environment. I'm all for planting a few trees here and there and minimizing the miles I drive, recycling, composting.
I have read articles written by many different experts in the fields of meteorology and climatology. The raise some valid questions about the gloomy forecast Al Gore and others are pushing. My father also likes to remind me of the doom and gloom in the 1970's about global cooling. Back then, scientists were actively looking for ways to warm up the environment. Thankfully, they never implemented any of their schemes for warming the planet. If they had, we'd really be toasty by now.
(By the way, the weather in my hometown this past year has been a bit on the cool side.)

You are a denier my friend, because healthy skeptics do not suggest that it is a hoax. come to think of it, no one that has taken a couple real science classes think that global warming is a hoax.
The reason you are alive, is because of global warming. Any scientists at least worth his weight in dirt knows this.
We also know that it is out of control for one reason or another.
Skeptics argue what the cause is, and try to figure out if there is any real way to solve the problem or not.
What we don't know... is what is causing most of the problem. What we DO know is... toxic emissions are definitely not helping.
Even intelligent deniers realize that "The Great Global Warming Swindle" is nothing more than a good peice of marketing, because it has far more flaws in it than Al Gore's movie does. If you are basing your denial/acceptance on which movie has the most errors, you should definitely be a believer.

Is the theory a hoax? If it is, thousands of meteorologists and scientists are in on the hoax. Remember, that this theory has been around for years. Most people didn't believe it at first, but as more and more data started rolling in, the picture became clearer. Do I think that all of these politicians and scientists are just making it up? No.

Yes it could! History has proven that the Global Warming theory has been wrong before. The World has only warmed an average of 1 degree in over hundred years. This isn't a reason or an excuse not to look after what we have, though the same hysteria occured back in the early 20's and was followed by a very long "cold snap". Unlike history, Climatic conditions do repeat and will repeat for ever. It gives the Socialist extremists a reason to "bleet", for a while, it was funny to watch them hugging trees and claiming that the Conservatives would end the future of the environment and have caused "Global Warming". Now it's getting serious. Here are some facts to dwell on. We lost the Dinosaurs - Fact, no Conservatives around (unless it was Zorg!), fact, Ice age (really big cold snap), Polar Ice caps started to melt, Fact no Conservatives around, fact, Warm snap. Big drought in the mid 1800's Fact, No Conservatives involved, fact, Warm snap. Snow in Sydney in the 1950's. Fact, Not caused by Conservatives. Fact, Extended Cold Snap to blame. Lower than expected temperatures in the 70's. Fact, No Conservative involved. Cold Snap at fault. Drought in the late 90's and early 21st century in Australia. Fact, Conservatives in Federally for too long, according to the Unions and Socialists. They must be to blame! Fact, Dry spell at fault. Has happened before. (Both Conservatives in for a while and dry spell). Will happen again! (Both) Cold snap pending!
Where money can be made, falsehoods occur. The more money involved, falsehoods become out and out lies. The amount of money we're speaking about here is unbelievable, look at Gore and the money he has made from books, videos and personal appearances. He was caught out as a hypocrite and still won the Nobel Peace Prize, (and $1,000,000 to boot) yes to hoax and yes to big money earning potential!
Democrats in the States are still to the Right of the Union dominated, Communistic Labor Party here in Australia. Liberals in Australia are Conservatives and equal to the Republican Party in the States, although not quite as far to the Right. Our Democrats were created by a former Liberal Party Minister (to "keep the bastards honest!") and are now so far to the Left, they're nearly leaving the Labor Party behind. Their founder would be turning in his grave.

It possibly is yes, we haven't been around long enough to understand the cycles the earth goes through, pretending we do is a joke. The same people who say the world is billions of years old and humans are only thousands, like to pretend we know it all.

Playing devils advocate, I would say that science has drawn the wrong conclusions from data before now, but that is a matter of making a mistake, rather than a hoax which means deliberate misrepresentation that sets out to fool people.
If the scientific community is wrong about mans actions speeding the GW process, it would be very surprising as the consensus is universal, and frankly, it benefits almost nobody for it to be true.
In summary the science could be wrong, it almost certainly isn't wrong, but if it is wrong - it still wouldn't be a hoax.

You're going to believe what you want to, regardless of the evidence. You obviously don't know the difference between a reliable and an unreliable source. And until you do, you will just be another ignorant conspiracy theorist.

Your own words sound like denial, which isn't the same as skepticism.
It could be a big hoax, but then so could Bush being President for the past 7 years. I'm still waiting for the media to declare..."just Kidding!!"
