Because of this, they feel the need to portray both sides of the subject "equally," even though approximately 95% of scientists say climate change is real. The new IPCC report that is coming out this year says that there is a 90% chance that climate change is caused by humans. Whoops.
2. Someone (MUCH earlier) tried to make a point about temperature changing? And something about mercury? Regardless, these charts

is from the 2001 IPCC report (also used in Al Gore's An Incovenient Truth, if it looks familiar). The second chart shows the average temperatures over about, the last 1000 years. Please note how significant the difference in temperature is in the past few hundred and fifty or so years from the long pattern in the past (this is about when the industrial revolution began). I think if you can read data that you see for yourself the drastic increase in temperature resulting from emissions.
(Apparently, I can't post links until I've put up ten posts, at least... which I am not about to do this second. Google "IPCC temperature chart" and click on the first link, the information from Working Group One is there for you to see.)

Okay about the part where you say " I think you can read data that you see for yourself the drastic increase in temperature resulting from emissions," shows that you have not done enough research. If you actually analyze the IPCC temperature chart also seen in Al Gore's film, you can see that he correctly states there is a correlation between temperature and CO2; but he says that CO2 increase causes temperature increase, which is in fact not true as temperature increase actually causes CO2 increase. If you see the graph you can see temperature first increases and then following in some years CO2 increases, this is the same with temperature decrease. This shows temperature is actually causing CO2 increase, not the distorted man made global warming version where CO2 causes global warming. This analogy can help you visualize this better: If you put a soda bottle into the refrigerator the cold temperature makes it easier for the CO2 gas to dissolve into the soda (basic chemistry dissolving of gas). When you leave the soda bottle on a table the gas will release from the liquid. The oceans of the earth do the same thing on a massive scale, when the sun increases in activity (sunspots increase) the temperature rises which causes the ocean to release much CO2 gas, which explains this correlation seen in the IPCC graph. This relation is not actually because of CO2 emissions by humans, but by natural processes the earth goes through. This is not explained at all by the IPCC, as they try to fool many with this seemingly perfect evidence of man made CO2 causing temperature increase, when in reality temperature changes causes CO2 change. Google: The global warming swindle, and watch everything before you post any debate.
