With mans daily use of 100 million barrels of fossil fuel it would make sense to me that there was some environmental impact with such a course of action. Climatologists say extreme weather is a major consequence.ok sounds reasonable to me.
There is definitely some sort of man-made climate change. I do side with those say it is mostly natural changes. I am just making a guess but were a percent value to be made about how much is natural and how much is man-made, I think at least 80% is natural.

I don't think science should be based on feelings. Would get on a plane if it was designed by people who felt it should fly?

Actually less than 10% of CO2 is human produced, but this small amount still overwhelms the natural carbon cycle.
There's no way humanity can go back to pre-industrial CO2 levels. The closest we'll get is ditching fossil fuels, which won't happen until we can utilize thorium-based fission nuclear power (safer than uranium based nuclear power) or fusion power on a mass scale.

Yeah, something like that...it's impossible to tell how much exactly because we don't have a real temperature record and other factors (in addition to CO2) have impacted surface temperatures, one way or another.
Refrigerants in the stratosphere have reduced Ozone levels and this has caused a dramatic cooling of the upper atmosphere.
Certainly, the extra UV radiation making its way to the Earth's surface has caused a slight increase in surface temperatures.
No I believe that it is cyclic, but man has exasperated it and likely made it far worse.
