At one point it was called global warming, then man made global warming, or maybe the other way around. But the man-made part seems to have been dropped but it stopped any debate about it.
Warming is happening, what still isn't proven is how much of it is man made and how much difference it makes. We could be on a warm cycle anyway and added +2 degrees to what was happening anyway.
No one can deny the climate is changing but people can question the reasons until solid proof is there that its all man-made.
We should pollute less, move away from fossil fuels/plastics etc and look after our planet better for a myriad of other reasons too though.
Edit: I should have read further down the thread before seeing others have already put forward the same arguments :P

Like others you have ignored the massively quicker rate this climate change is happening, rather than any natural climate change in the past.
What 'solid proof' would you need? The floods or fires coming in through your door ? The evidence this is man made is now widely accepted. If its on top of any natural warming then that makes it worse.
Tbh it probably already is too late, but denying the reality of man made climate change wont help matters or make it go away. It's the denial that has maybe already pushed us past the tipping point, the evidence has been here for decades and we and govts have acted too slowly or pretended it isnt an issue, as its inconvenient or might cost us.
As with everything atm, its the next generation's problem, but they might not be able to do anything by that stage.
