It has been being studied for decades. I am as sure human activities are causing significant changes to the climate as I am that germs cause disease or that Pluto is not a planet.
Yes, the earth goes through cooling and warming phases but the evidence shows that what is happening now is not that normal cycle. It is more extreme and those extremes are being driven by human activities. We have reports going back to the 70s on this. It's not a debate. The scientific consensus is overwhelming. People who deny climate change are ignorant and/or in denial.
Humans won't be able to destroy the planet completely. Just ourselves. Let the deniers deny. The faster humans make the planet uninhabitable for ourselves the more time it will have to heal when we are gone. Maybe an intelligent species will develop.
