The consensus is overwhelming, the number of credible scientists publishing completely opposing views (that warming is not due to humans) is very small.

Deciding if it's 70% human activity or 81% human activity is important, but it doesn't change that humans are the dominant forcing currently.

The impacts might be complex, but the actual science is quite understandable, after all we're a ball in a vacuum with a single external energy source, the basic physics of it is straight forward.
