What has been blown way out of proportion?

The claim about Man Made Climate Change.
The weather may be changing but I believe it is a natural cycle.

Yes, there have been natural cycles ever since this planet was formed. The scientists do not disagree with that. However, they are saying that current human activity is affecting that process and accelerating the increase in global temperatures.

@AmyEssexGirl ^What she said. The climate DOES change as a continuous cycle. But based on past cyclical climate activity, it should be changing in a certain way right now, and it's not changing in that way, it's changing in the opposite way.

Exhibit A: Sunspot activity. The more sunspots that Sol currently possesses, the higher its magnetic activity, and the higher the magnetic activity, the hotter the star gets. Meaning at peak sunspot activity, the Earth gets warmer from an excess of solar radiation, and at its lowest sunspot activity, the planet cools down.

Sol is magnetically dormant right now, with very little sunspot activity. And yet Earth is seeing an increase in global temperature. So that means something ELSE is causing our planet to warm up...
