It's kind of funny to me how many people talk about their feelings and beliefs when it comes to the issue of climate change. This is science folks. Do you talk about your feelings or beliefs when it comes to the time a rocket must fire for it to go into orbit?
Granted, climate science has many uncertainties, but the uncertainties are largely quantifiable. There is too much to answer in one question here, but the IPCC is the trustworthy source. Hundreds of scientists -these are smart people folks, and they're all skeptical of eachothers work - working on climate change compose the IPCC. Their work must be approved by governments involved, which span a wide array of beliefs - so it isn't politically motivated.
Saying "I believe that global warming doesn't exist and that it's just a natural cycle" like Dr. Jello loves to do just doesn't cut it. As the IPCC readily admits, there's a small chance that Dr Jello's right. But Dr Jello either reads the IPCC reports and likes to play against the odds, knows something that the world's best and brightest climatoligists don't know (and I guarentee they understand our climate cycles a lot more than him), or has invented a new faith in non-anthropogenic global warming.

I think, we should care about global warming, however it is not caused by humans.
I believe that it's part of the earth's cycle, and man has insignificant effect on it.
There is no credible evidence that it is due to mankind and carbon dioxide. We've been coming out of a "Little Ice Age" for 300 years. We have not been making very much carbon dioxide for 300 years. It's been warming up for a long time.
Though, humans are polluting the air and adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but the effect is tiny.

Because Global warming is a farce and there is no proof we could effect climate if we wanted to. I do believe in cleaning up pollution, which is real and can be effected by us. But the more the global warming farce is shoved down our throats the less effort is put to cleaning up a real problem we can do something about. So when the global warming cultists run around screaming global warming is real, stop and think that every dollar they put out to perpetuate this lie is one less dollar to go to cleaning up pollution and get us away from fossil fuels.

I care about any kind of prevention regardless if people believe in Global Warming or not. It's better to err on the side of caution.

I care about protecting our planet and conserving our non-renewable resources, but the real question is, "Is global warming really happening and if it is, is it human induced?"
I believe the current climate alterations to be a cyclical phenomena.

What's their to care about? The Earths climate is always changing, it's never static. If it's not warming, it's cooling. This is nature, it's natural, and there's no reason to do anything.
The Earth warming very slightly is like a gentle summer rain.
Enjoy the climate while you can. Cooling is far worse.
