There is almost unanimous consensus in the scientific community that global warming is happening and is at least partially man's fault. I would approach scientists that say otherwise with extreme skepticism.

The way I see it is this is what would be happening whether we are here or not. It has happened so many times before and will happen again, we definitely aren't helping but I find it typical of the human ego that we believe we could somehow damage the planet. The planet will be fine, it is we who are in trouble. The only thing we are putting in jeapordy is our own existence. We will be replaced and the planet will live on, we have no control over the warming of the earth, we may be contributing slightly but at most all we are doing is making the inevitable come a little sooner, it would happen with or without us.
