Doesn't seem like anything all that new though its interesting that they note previous warming periods were not the result of increased C02 levels. I happen to think reflective particulate matter contributes more than carbon dioxide and that CO2 is a fairly good indicator of that. I don't necessarily think we are the only culprit of global warming but I do think we should be mindful of the potential impacts of our actions (precautionary principal).

The real thing that bothers me regarding global warming are the extremes- the people in complete denial and the alarmists. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle and it is in our best interest to curb these trends. The problem is that air quality is a true tradgedy of the commons- those that do the damage are not the only people who will be affected. That leaves plenty of room for exploitation. IMO
