You might be wondering who are the ones to blame? Is it really us? Well, in some ways, yes. Research shows that global warming has primarily been caused by human output. Industrialization, pollution and
large scale logging, (clearcutting)
have all lead to drastic increases in carbon dioxide. The bottom line is that we are now producing more carbon dioxide than our plant and oceans can absorb. Consequently giving us, global warming.
