You need to talk to the other conservatives posting in this thread. They obviously have a religious objection to ANY kind of global warming.
As to MMGW, use basic logic: The majority of humans who have ever lived are alive today. We've had ever increasing industry and manufacturing for going on two centuries now. And a major by-product of industry are greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. So in what way would human artificial generation of carbon dioxide not be a significant contributor to global warming?
By the time we get the "absolute proof" you demand, it will be too late to correct the problem. Are you just another end-timer nihilist? A lot of the posters on your side seem to be.
For the simple reason that any contribution man is making may be insignificant compared to the fact the earth warms and cools in cycles.
There were studies which show that warming precedes an increase in greenhouse gases. Therefore we may just be contributing to a loop which was going to build greenhouse gases anyway.

I agree it by the time someone proves it - it could be too late.

Which is why we ought to take intelligent measures which don't put us in the poor house and give away our sovereign rights to others.
One idea which had merit was obama campaign promises --- which we were to get instead of porkulus.
The govt should focus on infrastructure and seeding green technologies.
