Global Warming Opposing Viewpoints

Since the first articles and documentaries about Global Warming were released, different groups have expressed their viewpoint on the subjects. Many different opinions have been stated, all of them supported by different data. These are some of them.

Viewpoint
Characteristics
Global Warming is serious and is caused by humans
The increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, due to the burning of fossil fuels, has increased the amount of heat in the Earth. It states that these changes in temperature and climate are lethal and if they are not stopped or slowed they can destroy our civilization
Global Warming is happening but we're not the problem
Geothermal activity and Volcanoes are the cause of the increase in Greenhouse Gasses, which show that they are causing Global Warming
Global Warming is Natural and it happens every certain time
Through the Earth's history records show that every certain amount of time the global temperature increases and then decreases. This is why Ice Ages have been recorded. Since it is natural all the hysteria created should be ignored.
Media Hysteria
The media has exaggerated facts to make the problem look a lot more serious than it is.

I believe that the Earth does have its temperature changes but we are affecting the environment with the burning of fossil fuels and other activities. I believe that we are accelerating the Earth's temperature increase.
