All I'm asking is if human activity is the cause of climate change, how much of it does it cause? 100%, 70%, 50%, 5%?

What would the weather be like if humans didn't exist? We know that climate changes in cycles, but how much would it have changed without humans?

If we actually implement the most aggressive actions to mitigate climate change, how much will it achieve? Will it reduce effects by 100%, 70%, 50%, 5%?

No climate change proponent can answer any of those questions.
Probably all of it. Almost everything I've read suggested that without anthropogenic CO2 we'd probably be nearing a new ice age.

The thing about natural sources of greenhouse gases is that they're generally prone to stabilise and be sequester at roughly the same rate as they're released. CO2 released by geology also tends to be balanced out by the sequestered CO2 for instance.
