Global Warming - Scientific Controversies in Climate
... After we have found a signal to lie outside the range of natural variations, the question arises whether this signal can be causally related to an external factor. Usually, there are many factors, but climatological theory reduces the candidates to just a few (e.g., greenhouse gases, volcanic aeroso ...

Global Climate Change case study
... The phenomenon of global warming is multi-factorial, but is attributed largely to human activity. In terms of geologic time, the Earth’s climate oscillates naturally between hot spells and ice ages (Zachos et al. 2001). Scientists explain these regular oscillations in terms of variations in the amo ...
