The most obvious and indisputable cause in the last 150 years is the addition of carbon through fossil fuels and land cover changes by humans. Other causes are changes in the carbon cycle, minor by comparison. This includes a global ability to uptake more carbon in forests, as well as the inability for the oceans to take anymore carbon.
