I think Psycho0124 has summed it up quite effectively.
I would also like to add that ~95% of the greenhouse effect comes from non-anthropogenic water vapors in the atmosphere, the other ~4.9% coming from other gases, such as carbon dioxide. Even then those are non-anthropogenic as well. Only ~0.1% comes from human causes, which isn't enough to even tilt the average global temperature by 0.1 degree. Volcanic vents around the surface of the Earth release more of these "greenhouse gases" than we could in an entire year.
The Earth naturally cycles.

Holy shit, I wish I could argue with the same level of validity that you do.
Whether Global Warming is fact or fiction, it is still getting colder every year. If you live in Calgary, or in that area, notice it snowed in late September.
It isn't being felt in America or Canada, it's being felt elsewhere.(like Australia)
Global Warming is a natural stage in environment. And the polar ice caps ,that everyone say is melting, can be the last bit of whats left from the ice age. Who knows O.O

Yes, the greenhouse effect is good. Otherwise there would be very little hope for life on earth.
The problem is that the ecosystems on the earth have adapted over thousands of years to a very narrow range of temperatures, and our contribution (while it seems minor to a layperson) is enough change over a short period of time to significantly destabilize those ecosystems.
[QUOTE=Psycho0124;18056126]Heh.. You must not live near big industry. I'm about 300 yards from the gulf of mexico and can see all those oil rigs. Also the smoke plumes of the big refineries to the north stretch miles off into the distant sky. I've seen active volcanoes putting out less soot and C02 than our refinery complex.
Still, it doesn't matter. The planet is a self-correcting system. Even if we raise the temp a few degrees or fiddle with the atmospheric gasses, it'll sort itself out pretty quickly. More C02 means faster plant and algae growth which will bring the levels back down pretty quick. Water levels might rise a few feet, some areas might get a little drier, some a little wetter, people will adapt just like they always have. All these hysterical fools and their doomsday predictions about climate change are no different than the apocalypse loons and their crackpot theories. Best to just ignore the dumb people.[/QUOTE]
no good!
