Hey, just out of curiosity, why do you believe the studies that show climate change is happening. I do believe it is happening, I just don't believe humans have much to do with it. The cosmos is insanely large. I'm just curious what your thought process is.
How about you tell me exactly why you don't believe humans have much to do with it?
Seems I'm still waiting. You have an opinion. Can't you articulate why you believe what you do?
Sure, I don’t think humans have much to do with it based on a few things, the first is the amount of energy the planet gets from the sun has varied over time, second the idea to me that human beings over such a short period could have such a large impact on a system as large and complex as the environment too me seems implausible. I honestly don’t believe anyone has a definite yes or no but I lean towards the planet is doing what it does and we are more or less just along for the ride.

Right, so this is almost the first thing anyone would think of, and of course it's . Damn smart people have written plenty of scientific articles about it. Have you read a basic summary of those articles? Have you understood the articles themselves?

Again, so given your expertise in the face of a whole scientific profession, you're just going to go with a gut-shot and say it "seems implausible". Honestly, do you take yourself seriously?
Why do we believe in the wider theory of gravitational force, or quantum mechanics, or relativistic time dilation? Why do we believe the Earth is not flat? Because there is an entire profession of experts out there who tell us it is so, and anyone with sufficient intelligence can independently consider and verify the claims of those experts.
