Non-climate factors driving climate change

Phanerozoic Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide variations during the last 500 million years

Current studies suggest that radiative forcing by greenhouse gases is the primary cause of global warming. Greenhouse gases are also important in understanding Earth's climate history. According to these studies, the greenhouse effect, which is the warming produced as greenhouse gases trap heat, plays a key role in regulating Earth's temperature.
