My take on this is that when it comes to science, I trust the scientists. Hence, I believe global warming is real, and therefore I agree with Jim that it would be a mistake to gamble with their findings -- especially since it could be catalytic to the future of our planet -- way beyond the current world starvation (which you used as an argument to discredit global warming).
However, the data that the scientists now agree on regarding global warming should be approached scientifically -- to think, for example, we can cure global warming by setting speed-limits on the Autobahn is almost as silly as thinking oceanic flooding can be caused by people spitting in it.
By the way, if you think I'm trivializing the current world starvation, I suggest that you read one of my articles on this matter:
