      It's true that quite a few most respected scientific  authorities have confirmed that the world is

becoming hotter and hotter. There's also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming.

Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate

science by the Royal Society noted that:"The global warming over the last half－century has been caused mainly by human activity."

      You may not believe that humans could change the planet's climate, but the basic science is well

understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of

human activity. As has been known for years, these gaseshold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible(看不见的) blanket.

       Of course, the earth's climate has always been changing due to "natural" factors such as volcanic

eruption (熔化) or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth's going around the sun. According to

the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build－up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere－not the warming we would expect from

other possible causes.

       Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that

would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: "If some newly discovered factor is to

blame for the climate change, then why aren't carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing

the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?"

     The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be

to run an experiment with two identical Earths－one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn't possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
