I think the major problem with... let me just call them the hotties (forgive me, I don't remember all of the tags and don't care to learn) is that their arguments have a fundamental disconnect. They haven't yet proven any definitive connection between the burning of fossil fuels and the current warming phase.

The ability to track temperatures globally, measure polar ice cap thickness, maintain a database of anomalous weather incidents, etc. has only been possible for the last 50-100 years. So the data they have collected is confined to a period that is contained within the period across which the "cause" has occurred. That means that they have no control. That means that no matter how they try to justify it, their findings are unscientific. So I apologize, but I must consider myself a skeptic.
