Unfortunately, there's no-one playing lego with atmospheric carbon dioxide.

If you look at reality satellite temps say the world is cooling, the poles are growing, as are glaciers, theres record cold and snow around the world, polar bear populations are increasing etc etc.
Perhaps provide some references instead of simply making statements with no evidence to back it up.

The word Hoax suggests deliberate misleading, you made vague references to "money-making", care to expand on the motives for the "hoax"?
On mentioning political stances, I wasn't trying to polarise the debate at all, simply making an observation, and trying obtain an explanation.
As an undergraduate physicist, I've recently taken a ten week course on global warming, so I understand the science reasonably well. This is a scientific issue, if you'd like to debate the science I'd love to, but "It isn't true because I say so" adds nothing; if anything that's the replica of religion.
EDIT: twawki what do you mean when you describe yourself as a "christian atheist"? That you're an atheist only with respect to the christian god? or a christian starting to disbelieve? or....?
Sorry, not on topic, but it confused me

Galileo was a man of science oppressed by the irrational and superstitious. Today, he is used by the irrational and superstitious who claim they are being oppressed by science - Mark Crislip
