The relevant questions are:

Are humans affecting the average surface temperature of the planet?

If yes, what will be the effects?

And if we don't like those effects, what can be done?

While you consider these questions, you might like to keep in mind, that if you come to the conclusion humans must reduce the concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere, there is a significant fossil fuel industry and lobby which stands to lose greatly by that decision. A consideration of the scope of the effort to utilize alternative energy sources may be relevant.

Skepticism is a good thing. Science thrives in an environment of challenge and question. A refusal to acknowledge some data and a narrow minded self serving interpretation of other data, however, does credit to no one.

The Climate Change issue which many now regard as a fringe concern may be considered by future generations to have been pivotal.
