Blaming what is happening to climate on carbon emissions is an easy pointer to causation. However, it doesn't really add up, does it?
Further investigation is required and the sensible arguments against explored instead of being ridiculed because the scientists might get embarrassed if they had to climb down now.

You appear to be confusing opinion and (scientific) theory - one is someone's thoughts on a matter, and the other is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.
Yes, scientific theory can (and often are) modified by new findings or challenges, but equating "opinions" with scientific theory is like saying you don't believe in gravity, as it's only an opinion...
