GTF it's either guess work or the aliens told them.

No, I don't study climatology at uni and nor am I an expert. It's what I learned from climatologists, you know, the actual experts.
From video archives.
The consensus among climatologists is that the the ozone layer is being damaged at an alarming rate because of greenhouse gas emissions, which we are responsible for due to our persistent use of fossil fuels. You're right that the climate changes naturally over millennia but the whole point is that it shouldn't be changing this drastically at this moment in time and it's largely due to humans and their consumption of fossil fuels. If the planet continues at this rate without reducing or abandoning completely our use of fossil fuels, low-lying countries like the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark will be under water in 50 years time because of rising sea levels.
Spook I don't know if you did this on purpose but you seem to be mixing Ozone damage and the effect of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.
Ozone depletion is a phenomenon caused by a group of gases called clorofluorocarbons (CFCs). These were mainly used in aerosols and refrigerants from the 50s but have largely been phased out and replaced with HFCs. CFCs were/are a powerful greenhouse gas but do not come from fossil fuels. The Ozone layer is responsible for absorbing the majority of the UV radiation, particularly UVB, absorbed by the atmosphere. Therefore with less ozone in the upper atmosphere would mean higher levels of UV radiation reaching the biosphere. The relationship between the ozone hole and global warming is complex.
The burning of fossil fuels produced greenhouse gasses such as CO2 and as you say these are causing a warming of the planet overtime. As others have said there are dozens of factors influencing the temperature of the planet but we have now added human activity to these.
Seems the climatologists he has deep and meaningful discussions with aren't such experts.
Mong.
Using that word just shows what a prat you are.
Do you mean you haven't had discussions with them on this subject? Another case of you believing everything you read and acting on it?
I would mention a book it is a good job you haven't read but our inconsistent moderator would have another fit.
You know some climatologists have long, meaningful discussions with them?
So called experts are right on everything of course. Aren't they?

Man-made climate change is hardly any of your concern. You'll be rotting in the ground soon.
Been to a lot of funerals of people younger than me. Be careful when crossing the road on your own.
Yeah, all of the major climatology and environmental institutes, along with the overwhelming majority of individual scientists, are all pulling our leg when they say human-induced climate change is a major threat.
Not you though, Castro, the free-thinking Daily Mail-reading intellectual who is right on climate change but all the experts are wrong.
Be careless when crossing the road on your own.
The Guardian reading intellectual who obviously doesn't wonder why "experts" have been so wrong so many times.
Though, as Stockholm Tiger pointed out, you don't seem able to differentiate between the ozone layer and other things.

I have been crossing the road on my own for decades whilst it will be a new experience for you.
And make sure you aren't abducted and experimented on by aliens. Though perhaps you have and they practised their lobotomy skills on you. Or maybe you are the world's only surviving brain transplant tdonor after one of their experiments.
I had a look at the twin tower conspiracy theories a few years back, but this thread prompted me to start looking again.
There's a lot of additional, and detailed information available now, which makes it pretty much certain that the official view is bollocks.
