I do not have biases, but gosh have i spent way too much time reading all I could get my hands on (except the peer review material which are ofter behind a paywall) from both side, and there's a lot more material pro then against,
it's fear porn mate, if you were born 50 years ago you will be fearing the global ice age because scientist say so, they were wrong then, what makes you think they're right now,
the ipcc is politics disguise as science and if you believe the same money isn't behind both camps, god, I've got some news for you.
btw: re.read your wiki links, you're mixing two things together, I'll paste it here so you can tell me where's the blatant fault in this paragraph
Strengthening of the greenhouse effect through human activities is known as the enhanced (or anthropogenic) greenhouse effect.[23] This increase in radiative forcing from human activity is attributable mainly to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.[24] According to the latest Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations".[25]
CO2 is produced by fossil fuel burning and other activities such as cement production and tropical deforestation.[26] Measurements of CO2 from the Mauna Loa observatory show that concentrations have increased from about 313 ppm[27] in 1960 to about 389 ppm in 2010. It reached the 400ppm milestone on May 9, 2013.[28] The current observed amount of CO2 exceeds the geological record maxima (~300 ppm) from ice core data.[29] The effect of combustion-produced carbon dioxide on the global climate, a special case of the greenhouse effect first described in 1896 by Svante Arrhenius, has also been called the Callendar effect.
Over the past 800,000 years,[30] ice core data shows that carbon dioxide has varied from values as low as 180 parts per million (ppm) to the pre-industrial level of 270ppm.[31] Paleoclimatologists consider variations in carbon dioxide concentration to be a fundamental factor influencing climate variations over this time scale.[32]
