Quite simply, there is no scientific debate about whether humans have caused climate change.
During 2013 and 2014, only 4 of 69,406 authors of peer-reviewed articles on global warming, 0.0058% or 1 in 17,352, rejected AGW. Thus, the consensus on AGW among publishing scientists is above 99.99%
People won't be shocked to learn that all 4 of those authors had their studies funded by oil and energy companies.

As for actual climate change, there are too many other factors that get overlooked for me to believe that man is to blame, such as:
• The earth isn't moving around the sun the exact same course it used to.
• Earth's magnetic north has shifted.
• People changing data records (see an article called "14 is the new 15" mentioned in the above video).

Originally posted by ap5:During the Pleistocene Ice Age, nearly one-third of the Earth’s land was covered by glaciers. That was about 4mm years ago. So whatever humans have contributed to warming over the past 200,000 years has at worst simply accelerated a long-term trend.
Bear in mind that in about 5 billion years the sun will have turned into a red giant and have turned the earth into a piece of charcoal. Due to the ever increasing brightness of the sun humans probably only have about 1 billion years left on earth anyway.
Go ahead, eat that hamburger, buy the SUV and fly on as many vacations as you can. Earth is doomed.
