Global warming caused by greenhouse gasses -reality or not?

[old mark]

I have been reading some articles that make a good case to me anyway against global warming. Last I herad we were heading into another ice age.

Without politics, is global warming the terror of our future? Or not?

Thanks - I am a dabbler, not a scientist.

1. Yes, the current warming is caused by GHGs

I don't know where you heard that we're heading into an ice age, but I humbly suggest that you not listen to that source again.

2. Yes, the science is settled, really - it is caused by greenhouse gasses

Here's quite a good place for an overview: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9903-instant-expert-climate-change.html

3. This was actually proven on mythbusters

they basically put some greenhouse gases in a chamber and put flood lights on that box.
They found that the boxes with the %in atmosphere of just those gases (methane, CO2 and a control of air) and found disturbing findings, that they did increase the overall temp of that chamber.

that is green house gases do exactly what the SCIENTISTS SAY!
