Scientists can measure that the global temperature is rising. They know that rising temperatures will change the climate. Weather happens from day to day, but climate change takes longer, several years, or several decades before it becomes clear that it is happening. That is the situation now. Scientists know that rising temperatures will change the climate.

Do scientists make up the earth's changing climate?

No, scientists neither create the climate, nor imagine the changes occurring within it. Instead, they measure the change.Some climate scientists are financially or politically motivated (generally by the fossil fuel industry) to find no correlation between human activity and climate change. Most scientists, however, lack any financial incentive to find one way or the other. Claims climate scientists not funded by the fossil fuel industry are financially invested in the outcomes of their research are simply false. In fact, climate scientists have an incentive to overturn the current findings. This is how scientists win fame and acclaim--NOT by upholding established findings.
