It kind of amazes me how quickly «skeptics» move from saying we don't understand enough about climate to attribute the current warming trend to CO2 — the portion of the climate system we probably understand best — to saying we need to start geo - engineering with aerosols — where we have greatest uncertainty.

This paper will show that despite good evidence that global temperatures are rising and that CO2 can act as a greenhouse gas and help to warm the Earth, we are a long way from attributing all or much of current warming to man - made CO2.
However, there are a number of lines of evidence that have helped to convince climate scientists that the current global warming can be attributed to human greenhouse gas emissions (in particular CO2).
According to John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Obama will emphasize the current scientific understanding of how, while no single weather event can be attributed to climate change, a warming climate can make things like drought more extreme:
Some scientists have also attributed warmer air temperatures in the North Atlantic region to the delivery of warmer seawater (heated by solar radiation unimpeded by volcanic aerosols) by the Gulf Stream and other currents.
This is in strong contrast with the current position of the US National Academy of Sciences:»... there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring... It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities... The scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify nations taking prompt action.»
«[D] espite good evidence that global temperatures are rising and that CO2 can act as a greenhouse gas and help to warm the Earth, we are a long way from attributing all or much of current warming to man - made CO2.»
That this was unusual, even the strongest trend since the current interglacial became established is perfectly consistent with only attributing 1/3 of warming to human activity.
