If we accept that (now that all scientists do even the skeptical ones) the conclusions become pretty self-evident. There's been no other attributable forcing mechanism in our climate to account for the warming besides human generated GHG emissions. No volcanos, solar flares, cosmic rays, faeries. The noise of any of these possible drivers just doesn't align in any statistically significant way to the warming trend. Except one driver: GHG emissions and the atmospheric concentration of GHGs.
Why is it just so hard to accept the obvious answer?
