Yes, scientists agree that global warming is happening and they believe it is caused by human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels, both of which cause the levels of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, to rise in the atmosphere.

A:The term global warming is a recent term, A more historic statement that can be sustained in global terms is "Climate Change". The difference is that Global warming is a political term to describe human intervention.

Climate Change is provable as we are only about 10,000 years out of an ice age, and the planet is still just coming out of it. Historically the climate was a lot warmer, for example the Jurassic period was sub tropical world wide.

Other variables such as the size and brightness of the sun now, the distance of the moon from the Earth, and the Earth's rotational speed, and the heat at its core, have all changed over time.

Scientists say that humans are causing Global warming, but it may not be the first concern. Are we "Polluting the Planet"may be a better question.
