Well 'climate change' being man made is certainly a valid debate and you can find scientists that are on both sides of the fence on that one.
I haven't been following it lately, but I haven't heard of scientists opposing the idea except for ones funded by polluting industries. There is some info here (lack of organizations against the idea) and here (former skeptics now believing it's caused by humans).
(Wikipedia isn't credible on controversial topics, but it's a good place to find links to credible articles.)
One report says that, within the next few decades, airlines may make up 5-15% of humans' contribution to climate change, so airlines probably aren't happy about the findings. I'm interested in both sides though, and would be interested to find out about any scientists who oppose the idea of human-caused climate change...
This statement is odd:
[INDENT]"The scientific community has nearly always been wrong in history anyway. In the Middle Ages, they were going to excommunicate Galileo because the entire scientific community said the Earth was flat..."[/INDENT]
...because Galileo didn't live in the Middle Ages, it was well-known by the the 17th century that the Earth isn't flat, and the scientific community (Galileo, Bruno, Kepler, Copernicus, etc.) actually did have it right. It wasn't the scientific community that was doing the excommunicating :)
