There are a few fringe pseudo-scientists who have claimed that climate science is unknown, unresearched, that no one really knows, or that it's just chugging along doing what it does and nothing that any human does in life will have any affect on it. It's true, these people do exist.
EVERYONE ELSE in the climate science field acknowledges that a) climate change happens, b) it happens whether we contribute or not, c) we ARE contributing to it, d) pollution IS a contributing factor, e) drilling and mining ARE contributing factors, and f) the human factor IS statistically significant. They conclude that if we reduce the human factor - even if we don't eliminate it - the severity and speed of climate change will also be reduced.
