Bill: A smart man once said "You own your opinion. You do not own the facts." You want science? Here's science:
a) First and foremost: WHAT GLOBAL WARMING? According to NASA, the actual mean global temperature since 1880, when records were first kept, has been .... wait for it: one third of one degree Celsius. Wow. We're all gonna die! (Or maybe not). And the warmest year was 1934.
2) You mentioned the danger posed by melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Fact: Greenland (and Iceland) were cooler in the second half of the 20th Century than the first. Iceland lost glacier mass after 1930 because the climate warmed by 0.6 deg. C, but since then the climate has cooled and since 1970 the glaciers have been steadily advancing. 11 of them are advancing so fast that they are threatening habitation. Climatic Change: 63, 201-221. 2004.Algore's bogus film doesn't show this, of course.
You make continual references to CO2, and its effect of global temperatures. If warming followed increased CO2, that would be significant. It doesn't:
