C'mon, tw. You know damn well the Earth has warmed and cooled over and over again. How many "Ice Ages" have there been? What was it, 15, 12, maybe 10 thousand years ago the glaciers melted in Ohio? The Earth's climate has been warming ever since.

Now we're pretty sure that Human actions have hastened the process in the last couple hundred years.
Whether Human actions will push the cycle further than it would have gone naturally, we don't know.
What we can do about it, beyond preparing for the onslaught of changes, has yet to be defined, except for "feel good" measures.

BUT, "Humans are creating Global Warming", is something a lying president or an MBA would say, not an engineer.
