No scientist claims that the current climate change is caused by man just because man now widely inhabits the earth, or that climate would stop changing just because we're watching it. They have actual evidence, not assumptions. For example you can tell how much of the carbon that is in the atmosphere comes from fossil fuels due to the ratios of different isotopes of carbon. And that CO2 is a greenhouse gas is basic physics.
Climate changes for various reasons. Just because cause A causes climate change doesn't mean that when the climate changes it's always cause A, that's fallacious reasoning.
