First of all, you're making one big bandwagon fallacy. Secondly, your

Energy balance points to man-made climate change
http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/48057

A climate model based on the "global energy balance" has provided new
evidence for human-induced climate change, according to its creators.
Using this simple model, researchers in Switzerland conclude that it is
extremely likely (95% probability) that at least 74% of the observed
warming since 1950 has been caused by human activity.

Previously, climate scientists have used a technique called "optimal
fingerprinting" to pinpoint the causes of global warming. This involves
using complex models to simulate the climate response to different
"forcings". These include greenhouse gases, aerosols and ozone, as well
as natural factors such as solar and volcanic variability. The relative
contribution of each forcing is then assessed by a statistical
comparison of the model outputs to the real-life warming pattern.

However, this method relies on the ability of climate models to
accurately simulate the response patterns to each forcing, and also
assumes that the responses can be scaled and added. Furthermore, changes
in the energy balance of the climate system are not explicitly
