Hi koan; To find the skeptics at a place like Oregon State, you need to visit the geology department. Places like the CEOAS would lose their funding if they admitted any skeptic science. For example:

Evidence-Based Climate Science: Data opposing CO2 emissions as the primary source of global warming
by Don J. Easterbrook

Rapid climate change is natural and has been going on for thousands of years:

The comparison between cores showed convincingly that climate could change more rapidly than almost any scientist had imagined. Swings of temperature that were believed in the 1950s to take tens of thousands of years, in the 1970s to take thousands of years, and in the 1980s to take hundreds of years, were now found to take only decades. Greenland had sometimes warmed a shocking 7°C within a span of less than 50 years. More recent studies have reported that, during the Younger Dryas transition, drastic shifts in the entire North Atlantic climate could be seen within five snow layers, that is, as little as five years!

What the above shows is that sudden temperature changes occur naturally. Hence the increase in temperatures over the last 40 years could very well be natural. And since temperatures have stalled for the last 17 years, all indications are that at least of that bump was natural. Taking that into account, the effect of CO2 has to be less than it was thought 17 years ago.
