No one is saying the earth's climate is not warming.

Actually, I think there are some people who are not only saying that, but believe it to be true. You know, the ones who immediately point to there being more ice at one of the poles, or how a particular location just recorded its coldest day, or stuff like that.

The problem is the "evidence" claiming that it is mainly caused by human activity is flawed. If you have actually seen some of these research reports they are filled with contradictions which many scientists just ignore. We don't understand what drives the earth's climate and therefor the computer models are flawed from the start.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about contradictions in the evidence. There is some variation in the interpretation of how bad global warming is, and how quickly climate change will happen in the future.

But anytime you can get hundreds of scientists to agree, with a 90% degree of certainty, on anything, to me that shows that any contradictions are very minor. And in this report, scientists have a confidence level of 90% that "... carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases from human activities were the main drivers of warming since 1950." I have not seen, either in this report or other similar reports, that scientists are saying that human activity is the only thing that affects the earth's climate, or is the only thing that is causing global warming. But they are saying, based on mountains of evidence, that human activity is the main driver of global warming.
