Yes, it does. The natural phenomena and physical laws are pretty cut-and-dried. Then again, so is the evidence supporting evolution by natural selection but a vocal minority insists that science is bogus, as well.

Most of the people (by far the majority) who specialize in this area of knowledge do not consider the information pointless, insignificant or a blip. It's nice to know that you disagree with them but how do your credentials match up?

You are welcome to your opinion but I'll put more weight behind the conclusion summarized by the IPCC after synthesizing the vast collection of data related to global climate change. There are a few dissenters -- and, yes, still significant arguments over some of the details, no one is claiming absolute unanimity -- but the overwhelming majority of scientists working in the relevant fields agree with the IPCC's conclusion.
If you want to satisfy yourself of undisputably unbiased research, I guess you would have to review all of the climate change data from all reliable (peer-reviewed) sources -- not just those from the handful of deniers & obfuscators -- and publish your own conclusion. Please use footnotes.
I'll wait.
