Did the environmentalists of the 20th and 21st centuries end "climate change"?

The fact is climate change happens, whether we like it or not, the Earth has gone through several cycles of climate change, and all that happened before the use of fossil fuels.

We might be undergoing the beginning stages of a climate shift, but we don't have enough evidence to know that we are causing it.

There has not been a single scientific organization of national or international standing that has held a dissenting opinion of AGW since 2007.

This is the first time in history that humans have been the cause of climate change.

And what caused the other drastic climate changes?

The fact is we don't know for sure, more research needs to be done, and I'm not convinced. I'm more worried about fossil fuels running out, and having the ultimate energy crisis.

The 97% is a stable system, but is that 3% really making it unbalanced?

Yes. Less than 1 % can unbalance a system.

Increase in solar output. We have had a solar minimum during this warming period and have warmed despite of that. Verified by actual measurements.

Increased production of C02 from volcanoes. Not a factor in this warming period as determined by actual measurements. Man-made sources of C02 are much greater than volcanic release of C02 during this warming period.

Earth tilt on its axis. Also confirmed not to be the cause of this warming period.

Asteroid hitting the planet. Nope, not during this warming period.
