Lots of debate on this, and it can get pretty heated when you get two people on opposite sides of the issue. To me, the biggest problem w/ this issue is finding good unbiased data to base an opinion on. I'd highly recommend a book by Micheal Crichton, "State of Fear". While a fictional book, there is a great collection of articles and source information detailing how politicized and monetized much of this research has become, and that there is a great deal of scientific data that shows some of the "alarmist" global warming fears designed to create research contracts and political fodder. Not that it isn't a real problem we must address--but that the situation is not as dire as predicted.
