Looks like they are making contradictory statements. At any rate they joined the Virtual March, which does state clearly that global warming is a problem and human activity has an effect: stopglobalwarming.org

One degree Fahrenheit. One tiny mark on the thermometer. It doesn't sound like much, but it has served as the spark for an explosive debate. I just cruched the numbers today. The average global surface temperature has increased 0.8 degrees Celusius over the past 100 years now, with recent warming over the past decade. That equals almost 1.5 degrees Farhenheit. So the old line "it's only 1 degree Farhenheit in warming over the past Century" is now outdated. It won't be long, perhaps another decade or two, before it wil be 2.0 degrees Farhenheit of warming. CO2 concentrations will be approaching 400 ppm in about another decade. We are heading towards a showdown on global warming.
