Global Warming: Is there any thesis about global warming?

There are clear and thorough explanations of the theory behind global warming and the greeenhouse effect at HowStuffWorks.com, one of our favorite websites.

Al Gore's site www.climatecrisis.net summarizes global warming this way: "By burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere - trapping solar energy close to the earth instead of releasing it into space - and as a result, temperatures are rising." The site includes the following facts as evidence of global warming: glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing. The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years.
