The whole global warming issue is no more than a tool being put to use by a group with an anti-capitalist agenda. I have no doubt that the earth is going to warm up. It has been going through warm and cool cycles since its begining. The fact is that the warm cycles outweigh the cool ones by a long shot. Ice at the poles (or anywhere on the earth) for that matter is the anomoly, not the norm. All of the climate data put out by the global warming crowd only goes back about half a million years , any further back and you get into an age where there was no ice at either pole. You'll never hear about that though because it would blow their whole agenda and theory to smitherenes.
And there isn't even the smallest shred of evidence to suggest that the earth is warming any faster in this cycle than it has during any other warming cycle. The fact is that this cool cycle has lasted far longer than the norm and a better argument could be made that we are keeping the earth unnaturally cool.
here is some very credible sources , there are literally thousands more if do the google -

If we don't act now, it is going to be too late." Where have I heard that before? Oh, I remember. From environmentalists...ad nauseum. Here are a few of my personal favorites from the wacko moonbat enviro-nazi's:
" In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish."
—Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
"There are ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production—with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon… The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it."
—Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
”This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.” —Lowell Ponte in “The Cooling”, 1976
”The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population.”
—Reid Bryson, “Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man”,(1971)
"The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer."
—Paul Ehrlich, in The Population Bomb (1968)
"I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."
—Paul Ehrlich in (1969)
"Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity…in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion."
—Paul Ehrlich in (1976)
"If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000. … This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age."
—Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)
How many times can these guys fool you before you wake up? Hell, they can't even accurately predict whether or not it is going to rain on your yard tomorrow afternoon, why in the world would you believe that they can predict entire global cycles? The fact is that there is a political agenda at work and it is sad that so many have gotten so close to the issue that they can no longer see it clearly. The entire global warming issue is about political power.
What we’ve got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.
—Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)
" Free Enterprise really means rich people get richer. They have the freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in the process…. Capitalism is destroying the earth.
—Helen Caldicott, Union of Concerned Scientists
"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects…. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land.
—David Foreman, Earth First!
"If you ask me, it’d be a little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy because of what we would do with it. We ought to be looking for energy sources that are adequate for our needs, but that won’t give us the excesses of concentrated energy with which we could do mischief to the earth or to each other.
—Amory Lovins in The Mother Earth–Plowboy Interview, Nov/Dec 1977, p.22
"The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States: We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the U.S. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are."
—Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund
And there is a more sinister aspect to this issue that is always present right under the surface.
"Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be destroyed."
—Pentti Linkola
"The only real good technology is no technology at all. Technology is taxation without representation, imposed by our elitist species (man) upon the rest of the natural world."
—John Shuttleworth
"I suspect that eradicating smallpox was wrong. It played an important part in balancing ecosystems."
—John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal
"If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS"
—Earth First! Newsletter
"Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, is not as important as a wild and healthy planets…Some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along."
—David Graber, biologist, National Park Service
"If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels."
—Prince Phillip, World Wildlife Fund
"We, in the green movement, aspire to a cultural model in which killing a forest will be considered more contemptible and more criminal than the sale of 6-year-old children to Asian brothels."
—Carl Amery
"To feed a starving child is to exacerbate the world population problem."
—Lamont Cole
"The sky is falling the sky is falling"
- Al Gore 2006
He is extremely tall and wealthy though.
