How do we know that recent climate change is attributable to human activities rather than natural causes?

The present atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has not been exceeded for the past 650,000 years, and possibly not for 20 million years. Ice core records show that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere varied between 180 and 280 parts per million (ppm) due to glacial cycles. For the past 10,000 years global atmospheric carbon dioxide has been quite stable at between 260 and 280 ppm, and level at about 280 ppm from 1000 to 250 years ago.

However, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, some 250 years ago, the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have increased dramatically. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas), land clearing and agricultural practices have increased carbon dioxide concentrations by more than a third (to approximately 380 ppm), nitrous oxide levels by about 19 per cent and methane concentrations have more than doubled. The rate of increase in carbon dioxide during the industrial era is very likely to ...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
