There's hype, hyperbole, and unfounded conspiracy theories on both sides of this.
Some things we know:
Other planets are also warming.
SUVs on earth aren't what's making mars and Venus get warmer.
Earth is warming faster than Mars and Venus.
The man made ice age the environuts were screaming about in the 1970s didn't happen.
In the 1980s, the global warming industry said California would be underwater by now.
California is still there, for better or worse.
The earth is at the peak of it's long term warming cycle coming out if the last glacial period.
The intra-glacial warming and sun cycle warming do not fully account for all warming.
Reasonable conclusions include -
In addition to natural cycles, human activity may contribute to warming over thousands of years.
As some environuts have admitted, the hype is way overblown, saying it's an impending catastrophe, which it is not.
It's an issue we'll want to address some time in the next 800 years or so.
