Earth warming

Is there anyone who does not believe that the earth has warmed and cooled over the eons of time and humans had nothing to do with that phenomena? In other words, are humans the only reason the planet warms or cools.

The earth is so big and we are so small, all she has to do is shake and we will all disappear.
My best 2 authors have both made a comment, that we are still coming out from the last ice age. If this is so, then we are been blamed for a natural earth process.
Yes, we do indeed need to work on waste and pollution. But to make this a party issue and politics, does not match the intent of government.
I have 8 solar panels, yet I still need to use energy off the grid.
All alternative ways of energy, still require coal furnaces, to smelt and produce the wind turbines and solar panels. The new batteries to store power will help, but are a small contribution. AND... all alternatives will cause huge land fill after their use is over.
We are stuffed either way.
AND.... when our mother earth spits out fire during her volcano eruptions, so much soot/larva .....no way could we be like her....she sends out so much soot into the atmosphere. (AND... wild bush/tree fires!!)

This is ignorant. Of course Earth's climate system has fluctuated over the course of its existence, but the evidence of climate change currently happening points to anthropogenic causes. This is an international scientific consensus of about 99%.

@oberpa: Lol, so then should we fund "research" to find the great ice wall at the end of the earth? That way it's fair. Or maybe to creationist "scientists" who want to prove that dinosaurs and humans lived together at one point? I'm sure they'd appreciate sucking funds out of real research that is justifiably funded. The US government is mandated by the Constitution to "promote the Progress of Science," and to do otherwise would not only be a negligible to science, but to the expectations of the Framers in regard to science. Yet, there is still an unfortunate number of public officials in Congress, in state capitols, and in the incoming White House, that deny science, not because scientific research is well-funded by the government, which it's not, but because they'd rather subsidize the pseudoscience promoted by fossil fuel corporations to receive campaign and superPAC funds. So deniers only fuel these entrenched interests by denying the realities facing millions of people facing devastating pollution, sea level rising, food shortages, mass extinction, etc. So excuse me for choosing to believe the scientific consensus that the Earth revolves around the sun, and not vice versa. Shameful that scientists should be funded for observing the Earth's rotations.
