Interesting! I'm a bit of a doubter myself. I happen to know that government support for science research is subject to political and corporate influence in my country and no doubt funding is a lot easier to get if the group is following the current trend.
I was given a book to read by a "respected" Australian "climate scientist" which my friend thought would prove climate change is not caused by human activity. It was easy to find out that the Australian was really an NZer geologist, who did an excellent chapter on geology, including many references. The next chapter and thesis of the book was that natural carbon emissions were 100 times as great as man made ones. One refererence on that, from a Canadian "climate scientist", who turned out to be a geographer who got his ph.d. by looking up temperature records in old Hudson's Bay Company records. Other sources I found said it was the other way round, human emissions 100 times natural ones.
I see human activity puts 10 000 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually. That seems a bit much to me. I think we should cut back on that, starting with burning coal which is the worst offender. https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emissions-data
