Why do some scientists back up that climate change is due to human activity?

Possibly for political reasons although there are likely other reasons as well. There is a lot of money to be made in the climate change field, and since many people and politicians are arrogant enough to believe we are the cause of climate change, it is logical that any 'scientist' that wants grant money for research, etc. would not only want to be seen to agree with whomever is the source of the money, but provide data that is what the grant giver would find acceptable.
The fact that the system is considered to be 'scientific' at all and can be abused like this is disgusting.

What is the climate change in human activity?
depends where you are and what you are doing
Can human activity change the climate?
Yes, the burning of fossil fuels for the past 200 years is accepted by most climate scientists as adding additional greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere. This is causing a global warming, which is making the climate change.
How is climate change affecting the koala bear's behavior?
Climate change is not affecting koalas' behaviour. Habitat loss affects them more, and habitat loss is not a result of climate change, but of human activity.
Do all scientists believe there is a link between human activity and global warming?
As with all issues, not ALL scientists believe in the link between human activity and global warming. However, the majority of scientists feel that the evidence for global warming is adequate to prove its existence. The majority of scientists who reaffirm the theory of global warming believe there is a link between climate and human activity. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, "The Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states: it is a greater than a 90 percent certainty that emissions of heat-trapping gases from human activities have caused "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century." "
How long do we have to survive if climate change does not stop?
Some scientists think the human race has a 50:50 chance of surviving beyond 2100 if climate change continues.
Is human activity the main cause of climate change?
Human activity is the main cause of the present climate change. Burning fossil fuels and deforestation mean that the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere has been gradually increasing since the start of the Industrial Revolution. This is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is global warming, and this is causing climate change.
What is the theory of climate change?
There is no"theory of climate change" as it has been demonstrated and observed by trained scientists for several decades.if there is a theory it is from the climate change deniers who insist that the process is "all natural" and will reduce itself without human effort.
Do scientists make up the earth's changing climate?
No, scientists neither create the climate, nor imagine the changes occurring within it. Instead, they measure the change.Some climate scientists are financially or politically motivated (generally by the fossil fuel industry) to find no correlation between human activity and climate change. Most scientists, however, lack any financial incentive to find one way or the other. Claims climate scientists not funded by the fossil fuel industry are financially invested in the outcomes of their research are simply false. In fact, climate scientists have an incentive to overturn the current findings. This is how scientists win fame and acclaim--NOT by upholding established findings.
How does earth climate change every year?
The Earth climate changes every year due to increased human activity on it. The green house gases too are largely responsible for climate change every year.
How have astronomical conditions contributed to global climate changes?
They haven't. Scientists agree that global climate change is caused by human burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
When land becomes more desert like as a result of a change in climate or human activity what occurs?
The process is called desertification.
What aspect of the global warming debate is there still a dispute remaining among scientists?
There is no dispute among reputable climate scientists. Just about all of them agree that global warming is happening, and it is being caused by human activity.
