Michael Crichton used to say, in the 1800s, they guessed that the air would be too polluted because of the amount of horses and their waste products. Of course they never envisioned the motor car.
As you requested, I did find these:

If you notice virtually all the doom-saying about global warming, is "may.." and "might..." hardly convincing, as it shows they don't know for sure.
It is just too early to get hysterical about it. |
I think the main problem (as neatly illustrated by punky's post above) is that we only have a few hundred years of weather data to model on. A few hundred years is a lot, but it's not an awful lot compared to the age of the planet. It's entirely possible that what's happening at the moment is just a natural variation in climate.
As with Punky, however, I don't know enough to say for sure (but, TBH, I don't believe anyone else on this planet does either).
