Right now i'm sitting on the fence. Both sides have decent defense.

and remember.. the issue isn't that the temperatures are rising. In fact, Everybody agrees that they are rising. The issue is if its caused by man-made CO2 or other.[/b]
When CO2 are at an all time high.... then, its obvious. Deforestation, Pollution, hell, its not just CO2, its methane as well (which is an even stronger greenhouse gas). There's tonnes and tonnes of methane locked within the tundra of the world, and if the world heats up a little more and causes the permafrost to melt, then we are in even bigger trouble, because then its not just deposits within the tundra, but also on the sea bed around the oceans.

The video does make a good argument, however, there's more to just Global Warming than just CO2. There's other greenhouse gases involved and not as much study has been done with them. The climate does change over time, however, at the moment, one can't say we are not at least having some influence in the way the world is changing.

EDIT: Meh... I'm not so sure anymore... smeg it... I'll just keep my hopes up for nuclear fusion (i would love to see a working reactor within my lifetime).
