No one can because it's clearly not true.

The only people arguing it isn't true are the various think tanks, foundations, coalitions, online PR bots, and the rest funded by the fossil fuel industry - working to persuade those who don't understand the issue, but are sure their opinion is very important.

Atmospheric CO2 science has been researched since the 19th century.

In the 70s Exxon/Mobil had its own climate scientists making shockingly accurate predictions of what would happen.

The IPCC climate change models - produced from 1990 onwards - have usually been conservative.

That is the objective reality. Everything else is spin, FUD, and noise.
