Intentionally or not, I think you are misrepresenting the "basis of their hypothesis" which is not that humans CAUSE global warming, but that humans CONTRIBUTE to global warming by causing an increase in the amounts of greenhouse gases.
It is beyond question that human activities result in in emissions of greenhouse gases: C02 - from fossil fuels, heating and cooling, deforestation, etc. Methane - from agricultural and landfill practices, N2O - from fertilizers.
And it is beyond question that there have been significant increases in these greenhouse gases as a result of these human activities.
It is the global warming deniers who misrepresent the science and falsely claim, like you did, that the consensus scientific hypothesis is that human activities CAUSE global warming.
BUt since you agree that human activities contribute to climate change and you support governmental policies and laws to address these human activities, I think we're on the same page
