Of course you don't need no science stuff but I'll try to educate you while you hold your hands over your eyes and ears..
The reason the term global warming became popular, was because the "average" yearly temp of the earth is warming. If you know anything at all about math, (hope they taught math in your school) you will know that with averages there are always high and low numbers and the center is... You guessed it the average..
Well the average global tempture is in fact warming. Yes, some years it might be cooler allowing your favorite Fox News mouth piece to declare victory over science because they are awesome and all. Yet year after year the globe is getting warmer.

The San Fernando Valley was called the land of a thousand smokes before there were cars. What changed? People stopped burning their trash.
I took a year of Algebra and a year of Geometry and learned Trig in the Navy in one day.
California has the strictest emission standards than any place else on earth.
Here's my problem with the government stepping in to help with global warming.
If they get involved, they will say we need more hybrid cars, that get closer to 50 mpg
Yet a few months ago, I sold a 81 VW pick up that got 50 mpg
Or they will want more wind farms, wanna know how many bald eagles were killed last year by those? More than 573,000 birds are killed by the country's wind farms each year, including 83,000 hunting birds such as hawks, falcons and eagles, according to an estimate published in March in the peer-reviewed Wildlife Society Bulletin. Obama gave them a pass on killing bald eagles.
They will say we need to regulate polluting companies, that will make them move to china where they can pollute all they want. We're still going to breath the same air.
You know that Arnold Schwarzenegger gave the BAY Bridge project to China? We built them a factory so they could build it, we trained them to weld, yet when after a short time from putting the thing in place, they had to close it for structural repairs!
Obama will want to give more money to battery powered cars that only the rich can afford, too bad they couldn't build something like this
