Well the greenhouse effect by definition is because of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They trap the heat from the sun and keep it from leaving the planet, which creates a warmer atmosphere.
So yes pumping too much fossil fuels (not just CO2) into the atmosphere definitely produces this effect...scientists have known about this since the 1800s.

Anyway I didn't really want to debate global warming. But I do think it's strange that people doubt scientists so much, but don't question why the same corporations you mentioned are spending billions of dollars trying to make people doubt the science.
Maybe it's just me but when it comes to conspiracies I see a much clearer motive on the side of the energy companies than there is on the side of the scientists...
- you say potato, i say p.... scientist aren't infallible, take 25min watch the doc I posted and re read your own wiki links :)GeorgesIV
