true we are definetly having an impact but not on the scale once thought.
It is common sense that we should minimize any impact for it is better to err on the side of caution.

95% of the "greenhouse gas" is water vapor. Of the remaining 5% only a small portion of it is caused by humans. So, I would agree that human activity has an impact - roughly the same impact that I had on the world economy this morning when I bought a cup of coffee and a chocolate bar.

Take a look at these links, read the articles and THINK for yourself. Sit down with a calculator or spreadsheet and compare the magnitudes of Anthropogenic (human created) Greenhouse Gases vs natural causes.
For example, in the USA, bovine flatulance is a larger factor than SUV exhaust. World wide, termites are a huge source of greenhouse gases. Look at the Global Warming data covering more that the last 4 decades or the last century.
Get all the data, not just that which the MSM wants you to see. Think and reason. You're and adult, right.

Sure--how could you argue otherwise?
But the question is how much is real--and how much is grant money? There's so much BS "science" out there where no bottom line exists. Climatology isn't like physics, chemistry, or medicine. The bottom line for those guys is unambiguous.
But climatological predictions live in the area personal authority because its really hard to do good experiments: believe me because of my respected position and the esteem of my colleagues; believe us, because if you don't the sky will fall.
The only real area where experimental results confine climatologists exists in their computer models. But those models don't have much of a track record. And what's the response? Well, our models don't accurately predict or postdict, but those are just details--we'll work out the bugs later with further grants...besides if you ignore us, you could be responsible for catastrophic changes in the weather that will destroy us all!
It should inspire a little skepticism.
