Just a few links to consider, as difficult as it might be that there are two sides to the "denier" line of not paying attention or ignoring the facts as it were. Ironically, so far this
debate diatribe has demonstrated an abject refusal to explore facts, as a true sceptic might.
In short, a real sceptic would be able to produce critically thought out, challenging ideas etc, that have been thoroughly reviewed. Further, and this is the difference between the deniers present and a genuine sceptic, the would very clearly point out where assumptions are being made (due to a lack of credible evidence for example) and/or when a denier has (as has occurred repeatedly) produced cherry picked data. I acknowledge they appear to be all over it when it comes to the believers having been perceived to be cherry picking.
Therein lieth the conundrum. At least a genuine sceptic would actually be sceptical, about both sides of information...
So, anyway, a couple of links highlighting the flaws in the denial camp. Just to balance things up.
By all means go down idiot street making claims about what I am saying, no amount of reason will stop that I am sure.
You are invited to take the time to read what is presented, but, bare in mind you may find it confronting, oh wait, you might not as well, I am sceptical.

One that deniers (and here is the shock horror bit) consistently simply deny.... Who would have thunk it?
If it wasn't for sceptics you would still believe that,
The missing heat of the last 15 years in somewhere in the oceans.
There was no medieval warm period or mini ice age.
All glaciers would be gone by 2035.
All the ice in the arctic would be gone by 2013.
There is a hot spot in the tropopause.
Co2 & temperature correlate.
Mosquitos and malaria would spread because of AGW.
All natural disasters are caused from anthropogenic global warming.
Ocean acidity of 0.3 pH units over the next 90 years will be catastrophic when ocean acidity changes much more than this on a daily bases.
The shonkey hockey stick which no one is allowed to analyse..............climate gate......????
Sea levels are rising uncontrollably...!!!!!
The IPCC's 1990 prediction of unequivocal warming of 0.2 degrees celcius per decade when for the last 15 years we have only had 0.05 degrees celcius per decade.
And there much more but you get the general idea.
The AGW hypothesis should be tossed in the trash can once and for all.
