You should defiantly watch 11th Hour or An Inconvenient Truth. It creates more CO2 so human s would have less oxygen to breathe. it can cause cancer, not directly but it's proved that in the womb unborn children could be exposed to chemicals more and more common that might cause cancer later in life, also cities with water rising and more inclement weather causes crises like Katrina, also eventually the world might be too hot for humans to live on. It was scientifically proven that the world came out of the ice age by only a few degrees change in overall climate.

It makes more land capable of being used to produce food crops. It increases the amount of the earth which can be used as habitation.

Since the turn of the last century, the average global temperature has risen by about 0.8°C (about 1.4°F). Most of this increase has come within the last thirty years.
Due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the average global temperature is expected to rise by another 1.1 to 6.4°C by 2100.[1] The most likely increase will be between 1.7 and 4.4°C.
A 1.7°C temperature increase means more evaporation, heavier precipitation and more severe storms. Heavy precipitation often leads to flooding. And because there is heavy precipitation in one area, the next area over will get less precipitation. This is because the storm clouds have already dropped much of the accumulated water vapor. Inland, droughts are expected to worsen. Crop yields will suffer as a result.
A 1.7°C increase hastens the melting of glaciers and snow pact. Much of the world receives their fresh water from glacier melt. With the glaciers gone, many people will have no fresh drinking water for much of the year.
A 1.7°C temperature increase will melt (not completely) the ice sheet over Greenland, which will cause a rise in sea levels. Low lying islands will sink, and many of the major coastal cities could suffer frequent damage from storm surges.
