There is no compelling evidence that the observed overall warming in the 20^th Century is anything but man-made.
The burden of proof is on those who would have us think that natural causes are solely or mainly responsible for this trend. Of course, showing that the observed warming entirely agrees with reasonable expectations for the rise in carbon dioxide does not exclude the possibility that some of this warming would have occurred anyway, without human help. But the warming of the past 30 years, from 1970 to the present, is unexplainable by any known natural cause. In any case, considerable further warming is very likely if emissions continue as in the past. We know that CO_2 causes warming. We do not know the likely rate within a factor of three. Ignorance is not a good basis for dealing with risk. http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/globalchange/global_warming/03.html Most of the Earth's scientists don't agree with your opinion...
