I think a lot of you are taking this the wrong way. I am not saying the planet is 'not' burning up, but I question the belief that humans are causing the majority of it.
Is it a natural cycle, or something out of the ordinary. The planet earth has already recovered from several ice ages, which could only be accomplished by several periods of extreme warming. And I think the warming it would take to bring Earth out of an ice age, is far more devasting then the global warming we have at our hands today.
Also, I read a report somewhere that from 1998-2005, the temperature of the earth remained consistant.

Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase (there was actually a slight decrease, though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero).
