Ok lets get a litte scientific....apologies or the geekyness, yes its a long read but hopefully some of you will find it at least interesting so bear with me
Geologically we are only just out of an ice age, about 10,000 years out to be fair. The next one will be in around 17,000 years and so we are currently in whats called an Interglacial. During that time the earth will naturally warm and then once past its peak will begin to cool again. Evidence of this can be seen in soil and core samples taken from depths all over the world. Thers literally been tons of smaller glaciations and each time the earth has warmed and then cooled again.
It also encompasses something called the Milankovitch cylces, thats basically a "tilt" and "wobble" of the earth in its orbit, over the space of around 27,000 years the two parts become more pronounced and then move back again. As such some area slowly become further away from the sun as the years go by. ITs miniscule in movement but over thousands of years its possible it could be looked at.
Couple to all of this the fact that natural occuring phenomenon are able to put out more CO2 than America can manage in a decade and it kinda puts off the whole greenhouse gasses theory too. Mount vesuvius' eruption threw out a ridiculous amount of CO2 that we just cannot compare with, the earth and mankind survived that just fine.
The problem is that the analysis of global warming myths have changed so much over the years, alleged experts predictied about 15 years ago that the earth could be as much as 15 degrees hotter by 2050 on average. 5 years later that average was down to around 10 degrees. Only a couple of years ago they reckoned it to be about 0.5 degrees....Woah f*** me get the sunblock out, 0.5 degrees, thats oven basting time!
To put it into perspective try this, if global warming is happening why is each year not a record year in terms of heat?
1998 was a record year, the next record year was 2005...hang on if its warming so much what happened to the 7 years in between that, was global warming taking a break?
look at how much it was up by too..

Their data show that the average temperature during 2005 in the Northern Hemisphere is 0.65C above the average for 1961-1990
0.65 degree increase from an average started some 45 years ago? thats hardly extreme now is it?
Oh and thats not forgetting that the 1998 high was a bit off, seems the scientists forgot to put in the full data for december, thats kinda gonna throw things of a bit now aint it!
The polar ice sheets is a great one....
The north pole is already in the water, its a floating mass of ice, if it melts well we might see a marginal increase in seas levels but dont expect to see london underwater, much as that wouldnt be a tragic thing. As for Antarctica, well its the largest single land mass on the planet, if it all melts there we might see a few new grand lakes appear but much of it probably wont make it as far as the oceans....
Global warming is bollocks, its a natural occurence and scientists have yet to prove that its not. They can prove that CO2 can contribute to it but they cant prove that we are producing enough to have any effect. However the earth has been doing it naturally for nearly 4.5 billion years now. We are but a blip on that
The only reason to be reducing our emmisions is for our own health, posinous gasses that we are throwing out so close to urban areas is causing a massive increase in respiratory conditions and things such as emphasema are life threatening. Sadly we dont seem to take heed when people say stop doing this cos it effects your health. However throw up a bigger one and tell everyone your killing the planet and suddenly everyone jumps into line.
ITs a politicians dream, tell them your gonna try and help save the planet and watch the votes come in!
I've got loads more on this one but i hazard that i've probably lost many of you by now and have a few already tucked into a good nights sleep due to reading
