Yes, and they also say it's mostly due to us. We'd been in a pretty stable state (temperature was actually decreasing just a little, until we messed it up). See this graph for a nice picture:

Yes it is true. It is mostly down to us.
The Met Office site has some excellent links on their page 'Interpreting the IPCC report' linked below. Particularly see the part where it says for the public. Read the information yourself and come to your own conclusion.
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/hadleycentre/ar4/interpret.html
Interpreting the IPCC report Links include Met Office Hadley Centre, IPCC, Defra, UKCIP, Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Tyndall Centre.
What have you got to lose by accepting the facts as presented in these reports and acting on them? In my opinion, nothing. Acting in Environmentally responsible ways is a positive choice, saving money from not wasting resources and energy is a positive choice, acting in ways that consider and value people worldwide is a positive choice. Feeling good that you are doing the best you can for yourself and your family are a positive choice. Having a good quality of life is a positive choice. This is my opinion, you do not have to accept it, in fact you should not, for it is up to you to form your own and decide the best way for you and yours to live.

How ignorant is it of us to assume that the climate always has and always will stay the same? Very, but these changes are NATURAL, we are at the peak of a natural warming cycle!

Sure - The climate can never be static, it has to change. It's either warming or cooling. These changes are natural.

Bob is correct as any reasonable person after seeing the facts would have to agree.
