The global warming movement’s top priority is to stop construction of new coal-fired power plants in order to reduce global emissions 50% or more by 2050. Yet, banning new coal plants in developing countries could condemn large segments of humanity – the 1.6 billion people who have never flipped a light switch – to decades of deadly energy poverty (as I discuss here and here).

Or rather, what type of evidence would you require in order to be convinced? Personally, I don't think there's any lack of evidence. I am not a climatologist myself and do not have the time or the means to personally conduct an scientific experiment, so at some point I feel I have to trust the expertise of those who are considered authorities on the subject. At this point, I feel like there is enough evidence (and consensus in the scientific community) to claim that global warming is man made and that c02 is a greenhouse gas. If you're really interested in the science behind global warming, I'd say the IPCC website is a good place to start reading.

By scientific I mean the process lessons to be learned from Bacon, Galileo and Popper.
