There is just no way you can rationally look at this graph and conclude otherwise:

The real question is whether the warming is something we should be concerned with or something that is just happening naturally. The sooner people stop trying to pretend global warming isn't occurring the sooner there can be a rational discussion on the real issue, whether or not we are the problem.
I'm not trying to say the temperatures are not rising over the 30 year snapshot. What I am disputing is that this is not a natural phenomenon that is being blamed on this carbon nonsense using a very narrow slice of data extrapolated across 4.5 billion years of Earth history.
