Depends on your viewpoint.
Whether or not you agree that GG contribute to the earth's climate and its warming potential.
Whether or not you agree that we are primarily responsible for the largest readings of CO2 and Methane (23 times more warming potential) ever found.
And whether or not you agree that GG levels have spiked in recent times is a random occurence or due to anthropogenic causes.

"We find that CO2 is about 30% higher than at any time, and methane 130% higher than at any time; and the rates of increase are absolutely exceptional: for CO2, 200 times faster than at any time in the last 650,000 years.....

"We found a very tight relationship between CO2 and temperature even before 420,000 years," said Professor Stocker. "The fact that the relationship holds across the transition between climatic regimes is a very strong indication of the important role of CO2 in climate regulation." "

This is not entirely like but not dissimilar to the evolution debate except the argument against CC is not solely based on belief.
Findings can only be presented. After that it's up to individuals to make their own minds up re. how to interpret and the honesty of the findings,
and to vet the scientists reporting for membership of left wing conspiracy organisations.
