Well, yes the earth is warming up when compared to the very short period in earths life. So, you could look a graph like this and say "Wooo we're doomed!":
However, while humans do contribute a lot to to "greenhouse gases" and whatnot. It really doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. For example cows alone produce almost as much CO2 as cars around the world. All animals produce these gases. There are natural phenomenon that produce massive amounts of greenhouse gas.
That said, when you look at estimated earth temperature trough much longer timescale, the image changes completely:
Looking at this graph, everything seems rather normal, doesn't it?
So.. my personal opinion is that this whole global warming thing is just bunch of reasons for government and corporations to both invest taxpayers money into such cause as well as sell products to people that are bought into that... You know, stuff that has "bio" or "eco" infront of it and cost triple. Or even worse - Toyota Prius. Hate that thing.
So yeah... even though floods and ice ages and such might be very uncomfortable and tragic, I really doubt they are caused by humans so much as they'd like us to believe. It's just a natural cycle of earth.
I think establishments are doing much, much more harm to our planet with other activities.

Tell me your kidding? Please? As the ice melts, the water levels rise and will cause devastating floods which will eventually wipe out a lot of the countries. An example is the Maldives, part of the island is only 35cm above sea level and other parts only 70cm above sea level, so once these ice caps melt, everybody who lives in the Maldives are fucked, because their island is going to be under water within the next few years. This will kill hundreds of thousands of people and survivors will eventually die in the sea. This will follow to other countries and then once every single part of the Polars (North and South) melt, then it'll prove deadly, in fact, nobody would survive.
Yes, you COULD die tomorrow. You could die now too, but nope, we're still alive. There may be some affect in our lifetime, but it'll be far worse in our children and grand children's life time. Global warming also carries an increased risk of skin cancer too, so I definitely care. There's nothing we can do now though, the ozone layer is already fucked and the ice caps are melting away. The problem can only get worse really.
It seems I didn't get my point across properly. I absolutely agree that we have been doing way too much harm to the planet without thinking.
