Firstly, if you're strongly against Global Warming, you didn't say why. Surely you based that on evidence, right?
Secondly, the carbon component of the atmosphere has a strong positive correlation with air temperatures. As a studious person, not only should you know this already, but you'd also know greenhouse gases tend to be based upon carbon molecules.
Therefore, you can only conclude from the evidence that as we dump lots of carbon compounds into the atmosphere, the carbon component of our atmosphere rises (as has been unquestionably determined by many decades of measurement, followed by representative centuries of sampling, with many representative millennia of more esoteric sampling), and as that fraction rises, the world average temperature is going to rise (as it has, again by the unquestionable determination of measurement). Hotter air unquestionably acts on the ocean to produce a warmer surface layer, which is the majority driver of cyclonic storms like hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons.
The quantity of carbon in the atmosphere now is becoming unprecedented for the last 600000 years. Hold on to your hats -- that level is going to at least DOUBLE over the next 50 years. A world rise in temps of 7°C is going to produce weather that was largely only found in Biblical stories.
Personally, I can't wait for the ice cap on Greenland to reach a critical threshold for base lubricity from meltwater, and it will literally crack apart and slide off into the ocean within a period run of about 20 years. The ENTIRE CAP will be gone ... and it will raise the ocean levels by 10 feet. TEN FUCKING FEET. That will require a major redrawing of the majority of the coastlines of the world. The Pacific peoples will be essentially obliterated. You should be able to see that clearly, right? When shore slopes are commonly around 1 foot per mile, that means the sea will intrude unstoppably up to 10 miles inland (hence erasing a lot of Pacific island real estate). That will probably cost us 1/5 of Florida, which will displace millions ... IN FLORIDA ALONE.
The only real case AGAINST Global Warming (which is more accurately called
Global Catastrophic Climate Shift) is that businessmen and other wealthy individuals will suffer from inappropriately applied environmental controls. Since THOSE people are going to smell like roses either way, it's clear that there IS NO REAL CASE against Global Warming. We have to choose: do we protect the extremity of the wealth of the rich, or do we protect 10s of millions of people across the world? Obviously, those many millions should trump the excess in the bank accounts of the rich.
