There is a battle occurring between political conservatives and active academic scientists. I've spent a great amount of time analyzing Global Warming from an objective scientific stance, and the scientific proof is overwhelming that global warming is a fact.
The problem is that unscientific biased conservatives are spreading false rumors like wild fires because they do not want to take responsibility of paying $ to help undo the damage done by humanity. They read each others blogs, and state rumors as facts. A recent poll taken by the University of Illinois shows that over 97% of *actively publishing* climate scientists agree that *human* activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation is a significant contributing factor to global climate change-- reference: Peter T. Doran and Maggie Kendall Zimmerman. "Examining the Scientific Consensus on Climate Change". University of Illinois at Chicago. http://tigger.uic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_final.pdf. According to additional sources, the majority of scientists who work on climate change agree on the main points.

As seen in photo, a span of just 6 years, between 2007 and 2001, the arctic ice is smaller, thinner, younger.
