I don't think global warming is a "belief". It's proven beyond doubt that it's occuring. And faster than predicted 30 years ago. Man's contribution is also clearly measurable. Yes, the earth goes through cycles of warmth and cooling. Industrialization has definitely fanned the flames.

Is it a problem? Yes, one thinks it's sad polar bears will be gone in most of the wild in 20-30 years. If you realize more species have gone extinct in the last 100 years (due to population, industrialization, etc - humans) than in the last 10,000.

It's sad many beaches will be gone in 50 years, and tons of landmass lost, due to rising ocean waters. It's sad agricultural areas will be devastated by climate change and unrecoverable for use, as we have so many people in the world to feed.
