-"Global warming" is politics, not science.

-If not for the constant *pattern* of the Earth heating up and cooling down, America would be covered in ice.

-The Earth has been warming up for centuries; why is it suddenly a problem?

-By the by, polar bear populations have actually gone up over the past few decades; there are statistics to prove this.

-There are also statistics to prove that the gradual heating/cooling of the Earth is a cycle, not a sign that evil humans are going to cause the apocalypse and kill all the polar critters.

I mean this with all respect; please do not be offended.

Look, mate, I agree that pollution is rampant and horrible and needs to be stopped. However, I think the people who are making vast amounts of money over the "global warming" shtick need to get over themselves, admit that global temperatures have been /declining/ for years now, and that we need to stop worrying about cooking ourselves to death with our nasty "greenhouse gases" and start admitting that the real issue is that we're pumping harmful chemicals into the ground, the water, and the air, which obviously negatively impacts the environment (including us!) as a whole. 

You know, if they did that, /no one/ would be arguing that it isn't a problem. Talk to anyone who (like me) think GW/CC is a ridiculous money-making political mess, and they will readily admit that a) pollution is a definite problem and b) needs to be addressed, as soon as possible. Yes?

Also, I love snow too. Except in June, then I don't like snow. 

@Mary: Don't forget that global temperatures have, in fact, been dropping for a decade now. Besides which, sunspot cycles are delayed for some reason and the last time that happened was an exceptionally cold period that lasted for several decades (circa 1790's).
