Similarly to ramblerman, I am not well versed in climatology. I do remember reading in Superfreakonomics, though, that what's cause for concern is not the temperature or the amount of CO2 in the air (both being arguably normal), it's the rate at which CO2 amounts are increasing (which is abnormal).

If you do a google-search, you'll probably find point-for-point rebuttals at the normal climate science blogs, too.
