Billions of years ago, before the Great Oxygenation Event, there was no oxygen on Earth. Stromatolites thrived on the CO2 atmosphere. Stromatolites used photosynthesis. It is theorized that stromatolites produced so much oxygen, they essentially destroyed their own habitat, and are now almost completely extinct as a result of it. This would suggest it is possible for living beings to exist in such great numbers that what they do affects the climate, and might even lead to their demise. That is the concern about human caused climate change.

The majority of science says otherwise. I believe them.
I do not believe you. It is not logical that a minority of deniers, basically only some conservatives in the USA, knows something that essentially the rest of the world does not. On one hand, we have a few million deniers in the USA, and on the other, billions of believers in the rest of the world.
This shouldn't even be a political issue. It wasn't until the wealthy fossil extractors began to throw big money at the propaganda machine. That was when it became a political issue. Prior to that, many conservatives believed climate change is real and human caused. My belief system is not for sale. I believe what is logical. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Action: 7.5 billion humans burning things daily, or having them burnt in their name.
Reaction: Planet Earth experiences a rise in CO2 levels, and begins warming, due to the greenhouse effect. It wouldn't be the first time living beings have destroyed their own habitat.
