A new study published in Climate Dynamics has found that humans are responsible for virtually all of the observed global warming since the mid-20th century. It's not a novel result - in fact, most global warming attribution studies have arrived at the same general result - but this study uses a new approach.
Studies attempting to figure out the global warming contributions of various human and natural sources usually use a statistical approach known as 'linear regression'. This approach assumes we know the pattern of warming that each source (forcing) will cause, but we don't know how big the resulting warming will be.
As the authors describe it, this new study "basically proposes a symmetric treatment of the magnitude and the pattern of the response to each forcing." Their statistical model assumes that the temperature influence from several individual forcings will add up to the total temperature influence from all the forcings. They then run various tests to check consistency between the observed warming and the Earth's natural temperature variability, the expected temperature response from all the forcings, or the expected response from subsets of forcings.
This new paper adds to the mountain of evidence pointing to humans as the dominant cause of global warming since 1950, using a new statistical approach to answer the question.
This mountain of scientific and statistical evidence is the reason why there is a 90-100% consensus among climate science experts that humans are responsible for global warming. It's what scientists call a "knowledge-based consensus".

Yet, we haven’t died off, yet
Let me guess; if the west will go back to the 1800s and give up all their money to the UN, it will be fixed.
Even in the 70’s when the doomsayers were pushing Global Cooling?
These people just won’t stop. They look more foolish with each study and proclamation. Imagine where we would be if Galileo would have had a theory that provided a perfect explanation for everything!
Biggest money-laundering, wealth-redistribution scam ever invented.
And why didn’t *I* think of it first, Dammit! ;)
Since the only “observed” warming has been fabricated by humans masquerading as “scientists”, then yes one could claim that humans have caused warming.
The changing output of the sun has caused the shifts in temperature.
Who caused the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s. SEVERE drought in the Great Plains region led to this condition, so.. SPAIN THAT ONE, SCIENTISTS?!!!! It was so bad for so long that people migrated Westward.
Ooops, I meant “’SPLAIN.”
That's "Garbage in, garbage out" if you're wondering.
I’m sure that “climate science” is the exception to this indictment of science in general /sarc:

“NUTS!”
[ The changing output of the sun has caused the shifts in temperature. ]
The SUN doesn’t cause the weather you stupid Neanderthal dolt, it is the gas coming out of the cars that causes weather.... Clouds don’t cause rain, Sex doesn’t spread STDs, and Islamist don’t cause most terrorism!
Guards! Get this thought criminal back to the re-education cell!
Looks like he needs another hundred sessions of watching An Inconvenient Truth...
cool - so some yahoo develops a fake model, that will not validate with known data. They feed the model warming biased adjusted data, and “show” future warming. Then ask other so-called scientists who are on the take, with free taxpayer money, if they believe the results, which they do. And presto, the consensus of fake scientists claim proof of globull warming using a fake model, with fake data.
And the point? To steal wealth from those who earned it, to re-distribute it to third world dictators, while the middle men - government employees, government grant receivers, politically corrupted elite, steal a significant portion.
Go team!
In 1942, MGM released a TRAVELTALKS short about Glacier and Waterton National Parks to the theaters.
The narrator mentioned the glaciers had been receding since the last ice age, and “If there is no ‘CLIMATIC CHANGE’, they would be gone in a thousand years.
That was Seventy four years ago.
Ike’s fault!!
And yet, when this massive consensus of scientists put the theory to the test, they are spectacularly wrong, always. Their models have always been wrong.
I think we should become brokers for global warming climate change conferences.
We'll give them non refundable plans.
Since so many of these conferences get canceled because of cold weather, we'll make meeelions!!!
