Is anyone on this board a climatologist? Didn't think so.
Therefore, no one here is qualified to try to draw their own conclusions. The only option is to listen to the climatologists, who have nearly unanimously said that global warming is real, caused by human release of CO2, and is the major threat to humanity this century.
Would these be the same experts who were talking about global cooling in the 1970's?

Seriously, since 1850 there has been a long trend of global warming. Human activity accounts for something between none or all of that. One thing that experts note, however, is that greenhouse gas that has risen the most is not CO2; it is methane. Methane is largely a byproduct of food production.
We need to ask several hard questions about global warning.
1. How much of it is due to human activities?
2. How much of it is due to increased CO2?
3. How moch of it due to methane production?
