Why do they talk about global warming like it's proven?

I always see various tv shows or news channels talking about global warming as if it was proven. It's still a theory. I'm not asking about your views on global warming, but I don't think they should be allowed to broadcast information the way they are.
I'm sorry you think I'm some sort of person who doesn't know a thing about the global warming THEORY, I am well informed. I'm not against cleaning the air, or anything like that. Great, make the air clean! I agree with david m that there is a climate change. But there is no evidence that the WHOLE ENTIRE EARTH is warming. Some places get colder, some places get warmer. And don't give me crap about being some a$$ who loves polluting the environment.
There's nothing wrong with cleaning the environment, but I think they just broadcast global warming to scare people. Remember the bird flu? Hello? There are many other examples.

It is a very convincing story. The reason they talk about it as 'truth' is because the general public is not very keen on hypothesis and theory, they just don't understand.

Here is the reasons why it is so convining:

CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.

Look at the 'hockeystick', which shows a dramatic warming since 1950 after a fairly stable climate for 1000 years. In fact, the 10 hottest years in recorded history have all happened since 1990, with 2005 being the hottest, and 2006 is shaping up to maybe break that record.

How's that for proof of man's fault in this? There is ample proof, any real scientist will tell you that.

There has NEVER been an article doubting man's influence on global warming published in a peer-reviewed journal. A recent study of almost 1000 proved that.

Yes, the earth naturally heats and cools, but the rate and amount we are warming now is unprecedented in the recent geologic past. We are doing this, and we must stop it. This is not some political statement or rhetoric. This is science trying to educate a crass, ignorant public of the damage they are doing. The magnitude of temperature increase ALREADY is about 10x that of the 'little ice age' of the middle ages, and rate and amount are only going up.

Just to be clear, glacial and interglacial cycles are mainly controlled by astronomical fluctuations, but we have a detailed record of the last 7 cycles, and what the climate and CO2 is doing now is way different and extreme. The rate of increase is much higher than in the past AND the value itself is much higher.
