It is not an assumption; there seems to be a significant amount of research supporting anthropogenic climate change. That is, it is not a hypothesis, it is a medium to strong theory.
Btw, the "97% of scientist say..climate change" is bogus. It is commonly quoted but it is a contrived number.

Disclaimer: I do not have the knowledge to agree or disagree with anthropogenic climate change and I suspect most people don't.
This means we are subject to listening to people who are experts. And don't read "experts" as someone who knows everything about a field of study and is never wrong. An expert is someone who is very knowledgeable in their field. Expert knowledge changes. Experts are fallible but they're the best we have.
I have mentioned before I have spoken to a professor of geology who disagrees with anthropogenic climate change (it is not his area of expertise) and I have to respect his position because he is significantly more knowledgeable than myself BUT he would be the first to acknowledge his viewpoint maybe wrong; he is a scientist and all positions can be challenged.
Axiom for the day: opinion shopping is not research.
