"" "I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it."

There's something almost cute about the last part of that sentence — a hedge he can bring out in a general election if he's accused of willful stupidity. I'm not a climate-change denier, he might say, I just don't think scientists are giving us an accurate picture.""

I agree, the last part is a little polite. I might say," the way these "scientists" are claiming. They are full of progressive non thought having accommodated the political correct university system. They fund their own "willful ignorance " on federal grants"

The statement "Rubio defenders might argue that it doesn’t matter whether or not the senator thinks “human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate” — so long as he’s willing to do something about those dramatic changes.": falsely attributes Rubio  as agreeing the climate changes are dramatic. This straw an argument ignores the lack of recorded climate change. Like the piece of the sky hitting chicken little, climate change is happening, but the odds are the sky will fall before the climate change is even unusual.
