Is climate change still debated?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between civilization's reliance on fossil fuels and the resulting emissions that contribute to climate change. The original poster seeks to understand if there are any credible arguments against the established view that human activity, particularly through fossil fuel use, is a primary driver of climate change. They reference the IPCC report as a reliable source for information on the topic. However, the thread faces restrictions due to the forum's policy against overly broad questions, which can lead to discussions that are too expansive and difficult to manage. The moderators emphasize the need for focused inquiries to maintain the quality of discourse.

My current understanding is that civilization is built on fossil fuels, and the resulting emissions cause climate change. I'm wondering if anyone still has worthwhile arguments against this view, or whether there really is a debate.

I currently consider the following reference to be the most reliable:

This question is in violation of the PhysicsForums [thread=757267]Climate Change / Global Warming Policy[/thread], which explicitly states that
Threads such 'Is global warming real' or 'Are humans the cause of global warming' are too broad and are subject to being locked.

Overly broad questions are of dubious nature in general. Someone who asks "teach me everything about relativity!" is essentially asking people to write a book (multiple books) on the subject of relativity. That's not good in general, and it is explicitly against the rules here.

On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord.

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
