To really prove that we, humans cause global warming, you would have to compare Earth today, versus an Earth that has no human lifeform on it. This is impossible; therefore, anyone claiming that global warming is caused by humans is wrong. I don't know how these scintists came up with the idea, but you just cannot prove that humans are the cause of global warming.

Eh, it's a claim that's going to get a lot of flak but is in a small part correct.
In the context presented here, this comment isn't fundie. Ignorant, short-sighted, ill-informed, and showing a marked laco of basic sciene, yes, but Fundie? No. It would be fundie if he then went on to claim that man wasn't the cause of global warming because "God wouldn't let that happen," or "Hell is approaching," or "The end of days is nigh," then it would be fundie.

Well yes, that would be the best way to prove it, but the fact we can't use that method doesn't mean it's untrue.
First, they know to spell, which is quite a lot. Second, they have compared it with a time where human activity was smaller and they have made comparisons too with different unpopulated planets and palobotanics and other science. Did you ever hear about interdisciplinary methods?

So, do you have a car? Use electricity? Eat? Breathe? Move?
I, for one, am delighted that global warming is occurring, whether anthropogenic or not.
The greenhouse effect was understood in the 17th century; It was generalized to the Earth's atmosphere in the early 19th century by Fourier. By the mid 19th century Tyndale had identified the culprit gas as carbon dioxide. In 1896 Arrhenius published the effects on climate by anthropogenic CO2.
The underlying physics was done in the 19th century.
Happy extinction, morons.
"I don't know how..."
And because YOU don't know, then whatever crap you want to pull out of your ass must therefore be true?
"but you just cannot prove that humans are the cause of global warming."
And you cannot prove they aren't, so humans must be the cause!
To really prove that your god poofed everything into existence from nothing, you would have to first prove your god exists, then prove that "nothing" exists, and then prove that your god can poof everything into existence from this "nothing". This is impossible; therefore, anyone claiming that their god poofed everything into existence from nothing is wrong. I don't know how these creatards came up with the idea, but you just cannot prove that your god poofed everything into existence from nothing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
