This is definitely off topic but does deserve a response. Anthropogenic global warming is more than a theory. The real question, in my opinion, is how much of a perturbation on the longer term climatic trends has it caused and will it non-linearly send us into a regime that would not have existed otherwise. As such, it remains an area of active research. To deny that there is an impact goes against well established science.

Full disclosure: undergraduate and graduate degrees in Atmospheric Science and developer of numerical atmospheric models for NASA and the National Weather Service.

I know you did not specify that it was man caused global warming but if that is your implication, let's be clear, it's just a theory.
