Air pollution from factories, cars, and other means of burning fossil fuels

The greenhouse effect

Natural variations of the Sun's ouput of energy

The cause is unknown

YES, volcanic eruptions have increased over the last century contributing to more CO2 emissions

NO, volcanic eruptions have gone down overtime and therefore, CO2 amounts have increased b y human impact only

NO, the volcanic eruption data is too variable to make any logical conclusions

The recent accelerated rise in global temperatures are due to natural cycles of the Sun.

The recent, accelerated rise in global temperatures are due to human influence, mainly the burning of fossil fuels.

The rise in CO2 levels in the last one hundred years reveals we have had a tremendous increase in forest fires.

Only natural causes are contributing to rising global temperatures.

Volcanic emissions in the last thirty years have increased temperatures in the same time period.

Human causes (anthropogenic) for rising temperatures have had a more significant role in rising temperatures than natural causes in the last thirty years.

Volcanic and solar causes have not played any role in affecting temperatures over time.

Sea levels have not changed over time

Sea levels have been going up at the SAME RATE over time

While sea levels have been rising over time, the rate of rising has increased in the last fifty to seventy years

We should expect to see a drop in sea levels in the next ten years.

The north polar region is experiencing greater increases in temperature than the southern pole.

The southern polar region is experiencing greater temperature increases than the north pole.
