Yes, the climate is changing. It would change whether we contributed to it or not. It would change even if the human species never existed. However, humans are the ones who have contributed most, over the past 100+ years, to deforestation, destruction of waters, overhunting, polluting the air, developing/inventing, then pouring and spraying toxic chemicals onto the soil, which ends up in the water. Plus drilling holes in the planet to mine fossil fuels, minerals, elements, and gemstones. We've even polluted outer space with debris from rockets. ALL of this contributes to climate change. Is it the cause? I don't think so. But we are making a significant impact on it. I don't have to care - I have no kids or grandkids who'll be stuck with what we've done. Your mileage may vary.
