A rational man doesn't accept a statement that is absurd. Which the UN's statement is.
What's absurd about it? They calculate correlation and causation and came to the conclusion that they are 95% certain that human activity is responsible for about half of the increase in average temperatures. Why do you find that so hard to believe? And again, science is a statement of probabilities based on statistics, not certainty. A rational man makes decisions based on probabilities, not political bias.

Climate scientists are 95% confident -- that is to say, surer than ever -- that humans are responsible for at least "half of the observed increase in global average surface temperatures since the 1950s."
