What, then, is responsible for global warming so far?
A safe bet is that from 1900 until 1950, global warming was driven mainly by the solar brightening, as solar magnetic activity increased by a factor of two or three during this period.
Atmospheric CO2 could not have been a major contributor, because it had increased by only about 7% before 1950, when the warming leveled off for a couple of decades.
After 1950, however, solar activity showed no significant rise, while atmospheric CO2 increased by 20%, accounting for the warming from 1970 to 2000.
So it is plausible that the solar-driven ocean warming between 1900 and 1950 started things off by shifting the equilibrium toward higher concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere, accelerating global warming since then.
Yet the threat posed by global warming is nonetheless real, and focusing on human CO2 emissions is not necessarily "bad science," just incomplete science.
For example, aside from solar magnetic activity, the Sun affects the Earth's climate in several other ways, including ultraviolet warming of the upper stratosphere, the nucleation of aerosols, and cloud formation.
The 2,000 Chiquitanos living around the park contend that a tree holds up the Amazon’s seven skies, and they are living that belief in a modern way: by using their forests to help reduce the stratospheric greenhouse gasses that cause global warming.
Finally, the Bush administration must ratify the Kyoto Protocol, in order to allow both global firms and Bolivian community entrepreneurs to create yet more rainforest ranches and other creative initiatives that reduce poverty, harbor biodiversity, and cool a warming world.

If we continue to lose forest cover, the Paris climate agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to less than two degrees Celsius (above pre-industrial levels) by 2050 will be impossible to achieve.
Countries also promised to work harder to protect the world’s most vulnerable, by aiming to limit average global warming to as little as 1.5º Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Latin America’s Climate VanguardSANTIAGO – Latin America may have weathered the global economic slowdown, but for many, the potential impact of global warming, and the measures required to avoid its worst effects, may undermine the region’s fragile political, economic, and social balance – and roll back years of progress.
Global warming is only the tip of the iceberg towards which we are moving, knowingly, with eyes wide open.
The Bush team was outspoken in its hostility to a range of international agreements, from the Kyoto Treaty to reduce global warming to the establishment of the International Criminal Court.
A Time for ClarityJOHANNESBURG – Terrorism and global warming loom, in many people’s minds, as the greatest threats to the planet.

Indeed, if we are smart, public policy can serve the twin goals of stimulating growth and fighting global warming.
The broad outlines of an effective and efficient response to global warming have been clear for years.
According to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, CCS may contribute up to 55% of the emission reductions that scientists believe are necessary during this century to address global warming.
Although none of these lapses provides any reason to doubt that global warming is real, is man-made, and will create problems for us, these challenges to the IPCC are taking their toll.
Indeed, recent surveys show that the public is growing steadily less trusting of the scientific consensus on global warming.
