Are Humans 'very likely' a Cause of Global Warmning?

Do you believe that humans are 'very likely' a cause of global warming as an international group of scientists claim in a recent report?

Had to vote yes. I do beleive that we are "A" cause of global warming, just not the only cause.

It is fair to say the Human race has contributed, without a doubt. But not the only force involved in the equasion.

I voted "No," but I forgot about flatulence.

Insufficient data to vote either way. Certainly the present trend appears to be a warming trend but with only ~200years of reliable data and only spotty inferred temperature and climate data going back further than that we do not have the data to predict or indicate the causes of trends that oscillated on the order of tens and hundreds of thousands of years with only a few hundred year of data. Neither side can prove inarguable their point of view and damn I wish they would get off my back about it and more importantly quick using it as an excuse the steal money from my wallet.

No we aren't........we gather in populous centres....do yall realize that just in the US only 1/5 of the land mass is populated/developed?? the entire population of the US could fit in the state of Texas...300 people per square mile.......yes we have an influence on global warming/cooling, but its miniscule compared to the natural occurances.

No more than we contributed to the mini ice age of the middle ages, the global temperate climate of the early history of earth, or the impending new ice age the same people warned us of in the late 70's early 80's. In fact, the same people were suggesting that we needed to put ash on the polar ice caps to melt some of the ice before we all died of global freezing.

Stop the madness. I'm sick of this nonsense.

"Global Warming"

what a crock. Tell it to the people MN (me for one), did you know it hasn't been above freezing for about a month, and they have about 12 FEET of snow in New York, and they say they could get about 4 more FEET before it's over.
Bring on the so called global warming, I want to go shooting outside again, and I can't feel my fingers or toes anymore.

Global warming you say??? Here's Proof! (and yes, I'm kidding...)

I believe "Global Warming" is a natural process. Remember the Ice Ages? Why did they melt? Could it have been Global Warming?
