They can give an opinion, a hypothesis, but given the same sets of data scientists disagree. Data and trends can be interpreted many ways which gives conflicting results.

There is as much compelling data to prove that humans activity is not the source of climate change as there is that proves we are.

For those who correctly point out that Global Warming has occurred naturally in the past, yes, but your leaving out the part that those periods of warming took centenaries and not less than 100 years as ours has done. n
Who is to say that this cycle is less than a 100years we could be in the advanced stages of a warming cycle that started 100s of years ago.
