Is it primarily down to us? No! And by the way saying you learned about the weather on FOX NEWS gains you zero credibility in my opinion and its irrelevant if you believe its anthropogenic in nature or natural, the planet is warming up. Im not surprised they would try and tell you different though being FOX news who believes the NHS is a training ground for terrorism.
I think in about a thousand to two thousand years time it will start to gradually get cooler again. While Eccentricity, Obliquity and Precession will have an impact on this, there are many, MANY other factors to consider like the strength of the magnetic field, negative and positive feedbacks, landmass formation, airflow and so on. ALL have an impact on climate.
And have I personally seen Glaciers melting? Well no I dont live at the north or south poles or Greenland for that matter. That's like me asking you if you've ever seen anyone murdered, because then how would you know if people are murdered? Go and google Larsen B Shelf. SATALITE IMAGERY has shown how that broke off into the ocean unless you are trying to refute that as well?
