Not to dump on Ali, but the poll was poorly worded.
Humans are pumping carbon out of the deep ground and throwing it into the air. This is causing an unbalance in the naturally occurring carbon cycle. There is natural fluctuation in the climate, but our actions are moving the climate past the normal balance. Past the tipping point.
That's my position. And using that position, I voted that "Yes - it's all our fault" but I could have used the same reasoning to vote for "We're partially responsible, but it's natural anyway" or "We're making it happen quicker."
And of course, I would also have voted for "There's not enough evidence" because I would like to see more evidence. The only problem is that to get that evidence, we need to continue down what appears to be a terrible path. Better to change the path now, for a multitude of reasons.
