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.
