Have you researched global warming?

It seems global warming is widely accepted as truth, but I have heard some contraversy on the subject. I was wondering if you yourself had studied the other side of things. In case you don’t have any information, I’ve taken some out of a Science book I own:

Recently, special attention has been focused on carbon dioxide (CO2) its contribution to the greenhouse effect. CO2 is a common byproduct of several natural artificial processes. It is produced by people and animals, by decaying vegetation, by burning of wood fossil fuels, by many factories; it is also emitted by hot springs, volcanoes, automobiles, power plants. Nature contributes about 200 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere annually, while mankind contributes another 7 billion tons–3.5% of the total. CO2 is removed from the atmosphere by plants, ocean plankton, coral, natural chemical processes.
A closer look at the issue reveals a surprising lack of evidence for a global crisis.
