There is alot of evidence that we are not the sole cause of warming. There is a "heated" (sorry) debate on whether or not the human race plays a significant role at all...

There are pockets of methane released ever so often that contribute something like 5 times the amount of greenhouse gas that humans produce in one ear.

There is little debate as to whether or not we contribute, but a ton as far as how much. A big reason why many think we need to learn more about it is something called "global dimming".

In an effort to reduce pollution, the US reduced particle pollution. This was great because it decreases the risk of lung infection and such. The problem is, clouds form from these tiny particles, and the more clouds there are, the more sun is reflected. Basically, the particles were helping cool the earth and reducing particle pollution actually contributed to global warming.

There is still a huge amount of information we don't know, and whether or not you agree something has to be done about it now, more funding should go into research so we can understand what the hell we're doing.
