An interesting book to read on all this is The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future by Senator James Inhofe, may give you a different perspective on the science behind it.
:laughing: AD, your idea of needed proof is so convenient.
Biased book by one person? Or thousands of peer-reviewed empirical and scientific studies that indicate a significant change in climate, likely caused by humans? Hmm...
Are these scientists bribed to manipulate their data by conservationists and environmentalists, like you have suggested? The more likely and logical solution is that some scientists are bribed by the oil companies (and other environmentally-damaging organizations) to lessen the significant results of their study, pointing at real climate change. Which organizations have more money, big oil or non-profit environmentalists?
Even so, the idea of peer review and experimental replication should negate most effects of personal bias in science. And yet, there is still tons of support. To ignore this is to pull the wool over your eyes.
Here's a quote from Wikipedia about your author (not a primary source, but adequate): "Inhofe often repeats his claim that human influenced climate change is a hoax and impossible because 'God’s still up there.' and that it is 'outrageous' and arrogant for people to believe human beings are 'able to change what He is doing in the climate.'" Seems like a pretty convincing and objective argument.
Who cares about whether global warming is real or not. I don't, and never bother to argue about it!
Now if you want to talk about pollution, and destroying the planet as we are doing, I am game. Anyone hear of "Shark Fin" Soup? How about "Oil Spills"? Anyone heard of "Contaminated Water"? Or my favorite nemesis "Plastic"!

I think this explains it:What are Sen. Inhofe's scientific qualifications?

My mask is silicon, did you really say snorkel? fins are rubber, and you got me on the rest, except that is not the issue I was trying to convey. It is what we do with them when we are done with them that matters. Plastic bags need to be banned etc. Read up on how our garbage has changed over the last 50 years and what it is mostly comprised of today. Feel free to read the link in my signature too.Mask, Snorkel, Fins, Regulator, Dive Computer, BCD.
These are all items that wouldn't exist as we know them without plastics.
