Are humans responsible for climate change?

I will check the latest scientific consensus from authoritative sources.Yes, humans are the primary cause of recent climate change (global warming since the Industrial Revolution, particularly the rapid warming of the past several decades). This is the overwhelming scientific consensus, described as “unequivocal” by the world’s leading climate science body.
