I'd say, and the latest consensus of all climatologists who have just concluded their meeting in Paris is: Yes, pretty much so. CO2 and pollution levels for the last two centuries have doubled over the pre-industrial levels. and now, possibly in conjunction with a natural warming cycle (we are coming out ot the little ice age that started in the 14 century) and this trend canno easily be reversed. One may have bad positive feedbacks with arctic ice melt changing the earths reflectivity etc. BUT WAIT there's more. Possibly, just possibly, the the warming could stop by itself and the whole process turn into a gigantic ice age. The could happen if the arctic ice melt for example shuts down the global oceanic thermohaline circulatioin.

Yes. If human activities didn't cause it, natural activities would.

All we have to do is stop making green house gases. Then the forces of nature will bring us back to equilibrium.
