Well, either it is getting warmer or it is getting colder.
We have had multiple Ice Ages long before humans evolved. That means there were several periods of Global Cooling each followed by a period of Global Warming. Hmmm... Maybe the Earth's temperature goes through cycles like every other thing in the natural world.
Please, these same scientists believe that if it weren't for the Isthmus of Panama rising, which prevented the free flow of water between the Atlantic and Pacific, which changed the salination levels between the Atlantic and Pacific, which changed the ocean temperatures, which changed the trade winds, which changed the rain patterns, which resulted in the deforestation of half the continent of Africa, Humans would never have evolved. But when flood plains actually flood it's a sign of the Apocalypse.

"Well, either it is getting warmer"
Over the last hundred years the earth's surface has gotten warmer - no doubt about it.
What is not clear is why and what is not proved is that mankind has any significant effect on recent global warming.
