The atmosphere is warming because the extra carbon dioxide (CO2) in the greenhouse gases of the atmosphere is holding in more of the sun's heat. There is extra CO2 in the atmosphere because by burning coal, oil and natural gas (fossil fuel) we have released CO2 that had been safely concealed underground for millions of years. This has put pressure on the carbon cycle which has not been able to remove it.
