  • Scientists know that the earth is kept warm through the greenhouse effect.
  • They know that greenhouse gases absorb infrared heat.
  • They know that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
  • They know that burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for 300 thousand years.
  • They know that levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been rising since the Industrial Revolution, when man started seriously burning fossil fuels.
  • They know that forests, through the process of photosynthesis, remove large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air.
  • They also agree that man has been cutting down the forests of the world so that this huge carbon sink is just a fraction of what it was.
  • So they know that global warming is being caused by human activity.
