Actually, it is laughable that the issue shouldn't be up for debate anymore, and that a consensus has been reached - humans are responsible for the changing climate of the planet.
I'm not going to deny that humans are having an effect, but to say that we are completely responsible, or even 90% responsible is ridiculous.

Most of the studies and debates on potential climate change, along with its ecological and economic impacts, have focused on the ongoing buildup of industrial greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and a gradual increase in global temperatures. This line of thinking, however, fails to consider another potentially disruptive climate scenario. It ignores recent and rapidly advancing evidence that Earth’s climate repeatedly has shifted abruptly and dramatically in the past, and is capable of doing so in the future.
