Not just carbon dioxide: Other Greenhouse gases
Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas, but other greenhouse gases are much more potent in smaller concentrations.
Solar influences
The sun is the primary source of Earth’s heat, so relatively small changes in solar output can affect our climate.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Evidence that CO2 emissions are the cause of global warming is very robust. Scientists have known since the early 1800s that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat.
The Earth’s natural climate cycle
Over the last 800,000 years, there have been natural cycles in the Earth’s climate, between ice ages and warmer interglacial periods. After the last ice age 20,000 years ago, average global temperature rose by about 3°C to 8°C, over a period of about 10,000 years.
Is the current climate change unusual compared to earlier changes in Earth’s history?
Climate has changed on all time scales throughout Earth’s history. Some aspects of the current climate change are not unusual, but others are.

The Causes of Climate Change
Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the “greenhouse effect”1 — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.
Climate Change: How Do We Know?
The Earth’s climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization.

Negative emissions technology needed to head off climate change
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is calling on the US government to launch a concerted effort to develop new and improved negative emissions technologies to remove and sequester CO2 directly from the air. The panel concludes that these technologies, which involve chemical processes to capture carbon dioxide from the air, are economically viable and crucial to mitigate the threat of climate change.
‘We can now say that there is a high probability that we can produce a viable way to do direct air capture at something like $100 (£77) per tonne of CO2 or less,’ says Stephen Pacala, an ecology and evolutionary biology professor at Princeton University who chaired the committee that wrote the report. ‘We would then reach the capacities that the world would need to achieve the climate goals that are embedded in the Paris agreement and elsewhere,’ he tells Chemistry World. ‘It would also provide a way to continue to use fossil fuels, but without a climate impact – you could offset those carbon emissions.’
Foot of ‘world’s oldest child’ shows how our ancestors moved
