Introduction
The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades. Based on the work of some 2,500 scientists in more than 130 countries, concluded that humans have caused all or most of the current planetary warming.
