Global Warming isn't necessarily true. The "fact" that humans are causing it is almost completely false. The Earth has gone through many stages of warming and cooling- in fact, the last ice age we had, we just got out of in the 1900's. Because of that, the Earth has been on its way to leveling out and warming up once again. Notice, that it was during the 1900's the human population started to rise drastically.
That's not to say, however, that humans aren't contributing. We do contribute to greenhouse gas distribution, but to a very small point. Carbon dioxide forms approximately 0.04% of the nominal 5,000,000 gigatons of gas and aerosols that comprise the Earth's atmosphere. Humans put out about 34 billion tons of CO2 per year (including the burning of fossil fuels and such). Compare the numbers, the results are clear- humans putting out CO2...isn't the cause of global warming. Insects put out more CO2 by breathing, 48 billion tons. (

The atmosphere cannot heat the oceans, because it does not have enough heat capacity. The claimed 0.6°C increase in atmospheric temperature is not significant for heating the oceans. The reason for the heat in the oceans is strongly due to the organisms that live in them, and hydrothermal vents beneath them. The atmosphere alone, and the crap we put into it cannot possibly melt the caps.
The term "global warming" is null and void. The cause? Adjustments to the previous ice age (a small one, but a significant one). The effect? Millions of human beings thinking the world is coming to an end because they don't know the facts.
