Recent global warming driven by human CO2 emissions, not ‘little ice age’ or urban heat island effects

AccurateAtmospheric CO2 concentrations rising faster today than the last 50,000 years, as accurately claimed in recent social media posts
Claim:
CO2 concentrations are increasing in Earth’s atmosphere faster than they have in the last 50,000 years.

How CO2 warms Earth through the greenhouse effect and why CO2 is not ‘saturated’ in Earth’s atmosphere
There is no doubt about it – climate science can be complex. But sometimes this complexity is mistaken for uncertainty.…

MisleadingNo evidence for a significant influence of volcanoes or solar variability on recent climate change contrary to Judith Curry’s claims in PragerU video
Claim:
Climate scientists disagree about how much warming is associated with our emissions and whether this warming is larger than natural climate variability from the sun and volcanic eruptions

IncorrectCarbon isotopes do not show that humans’ climate impacts are too small to notice, despite the Daily Sceptic’s inaccurate claim
Claim:
Human-caused carbon emissions’ effect on climate is ‘non-discernible’. Measurements of carbon isotope ratios in atmospheric CO2 indicate that it is the recent expansion of a more productive biosphere that has led to increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.

MisleadingOptimal atmospheric CO2 for dinosaurs and plants is harmful for humans; current concentration is higher than Homo sapiens have ever experienced
Claim:
High CO2 was fine for the dinosaurs and high CO2 benefits plants today in greenhouses, so more CO2 can’t be bad for humans

IncorrectVideo of Ian Plimer incorrectly states that human CO2 emissions are not responsible for increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations and global warming
Claim:
Increases in atmospheric CO2 is mainly from natural causes, like ocean outgassing, and not from humans who emit so little in comparison

How much of a climate solution can technologies such as carbon capture and storage be?
Science has shown consistently that adding CO2 to the atmosphere is changing the climate in various ways, including raising the…

Flawed reasoningScientists have found that modern climate change is caused entirely by human activity, contrary to recent speculation by Joe Rogan
Claim:
“The question is, ‘how much of an impact do we have on [climate]?’ That has not totally been quantified”; climate change is happening anyway, “The ice age happened without us…It’s probably this constant cycle”.

IncorrectThe Epoch Times prints a range of inaccurate and misleading claims about climate change’s impacts and causes
Claim:
CO<sub>2</sub> is not the cause of our current warming trend; Arctic sea ice has expanded in recent years; Polar bears’ population is growing and is not threatened by climate change; CO<sub>2</sub> is good for plant life
