The problem here is that there are so many interdependent cycles that it is almost impossibly difficult to tell what is causing what, if anything at all. All we can say is that there is a correlation between increased CO2 output and a slight increase in global temperature. Any scientist worth his weight in gold will tell you though, that correlation does NOT equal causation. Therefore, we cannot say with any legitimacy that CO2 is for sure causing the increased temperatures we have been experiencing. To even begin to grasp the situation with the climate you have to begin acknowledging all the parts of the cycle, including both positive and negative feedback systems.
People are crying about the end of the world over a lack of information. Sure we can establish general trends and predict our future, but we cannot with any certainty state that what we are experiencing is outside the normal realm of the history of the Earth.
If you go back through history, you'll find that it was warmer than it was today in the middle ages. The dinosaurs lived in a climate that was MUCH warmer than the current era. In fact based on our temperatures relative to historic highs and lows, we are fairly temperate right now.
Anyone claiming that, "GLOBAL WARMING IS ANTHROPOGENICALLY CAUSED" is full of shit. We can only state with certainty that we are warmer now, then we were within the previous 100 years, but keep in mind that 100 years is nothing on a geological timescale.
