Some scientists theorize that global warming might not be solely due to increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide because there are other factors that can also influence the Earth's climate, such as changes in solar radiation, volcanic eruptions, and natural climate variability. They argue that a combination of these factors could be contributing to global warming in addition to carbon dioxide emissions.
