What are some things that have contributed to increased global temperatures due to higher levels of carbon dioxide?
Arisa [49]
There are many lines of evidence which clearly show that the atmospheric CO2<span>increase is caused by humans.  The clearest of these is simple accounting - humans are emitting CO2 at a rate twice as fast as the atmospheric increase (natural sinks are absorbing the other half).  There is no question whatsoever that the CO2 increase is human-caused.  This is settled science.</span>
