What I have seen is a lot of historical data that shows the temperature of the earth fluctuating for thousands of years that can't possibly be due to man's burning of fossil fuels.

Thats just it. My very first science project as a kid was on acid rain effects. My first advanced degree was in ecology. I did two years post grad work on it too. I've been a fisherman all my life. I grew up in a wooded area, and despite being in the burbs, I am more at home in the woods than downtown. I have no reason to 'deny' human caused global warming because if it were true it would destroy that which I love. I'm not being paid off by oil companies, I wasn't when I was 20 and saw how much of the global warming stuff was garbage, and I'm not now.
As a scientist I can say, global warming may be happening to some extent, but there is not one shred of evidence that it is human caused or even unusual.
