c) A lot of planets go through cooling and warming cycles, as does Earth. The arguments being made by scientists today are that Earth's current warming trend is 1) above and beyond what we'd expect from a natural cycle, and 2) the result of human activity. We have an abundance of sound science supporting both of these assertions, and basically nothing of any credibility arguing the contrary. This doesn't mean that man-made global warming is a 100% certainty (because nothing ever is), but it means that we are reasonably sure man-made global warming is happening. |
I make a joke and you try to make it sound serious... But if you want to start here it goes.
Since when is the research and opinions of 100s of PHD level scientists from respected institutions considered "nothing of any credibility arguing the contrary?" If you think there is no one that disputes these claims you have done very little research into the subject.

Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore.
