Yes, men create climate change. I'd bet a hundred bucks we end up realizing it's from concrete and pavement retaining heat more than C02 admissions, but whatever. It's still largely insignificant. But send our money to whoever says they will fix it by .01 degrees. Seems responsible.

I wasn't alive in the 70s like you, but yes there are cycles.  There are things that have nothing to do with human activity like solar intensity and volcanic eruptions.  Scientists can measure those and account for them.  They do not explain the heating we are seeing. CO2 emitted by humans does.
