The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1.0 degree Celsius) since the late - 19th century, a change largely driven by increased carbon dioxide and other human - made emissions into the atmosphere.

Fake paper fools global warming naysayers The man - made - global - warming - is - a-hoax crowd latched onto a study this week in the Journal of Geoclimatic Studies by researchers at the University of Arizona's Department of Climatology, who reported that soil bacteria around the Atlantic and Pacific oceans belch more than 300 times the carbon dioxide released by all fossil fuel emission, strongly implying that humans are not to blame for climate change.

Scientists today announced that they have crafted a bacterial genome from scratch, moving one step closer to creating entirely synthetic life forms — living cells designed and built by humans to carry out a diverse set of tasks ranging from manufacturing biofuels to sequestering carbon dioxide.

This effect is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons and other gases in the air, many of them released by human activity.

While El Niño played a role in bumping up global temperatures during 2015 and 2016, the bulk of the warmth was due to the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases emitted by humans over the past century, particularly carbon dioxide.

Over that period, humans increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by about 20 parts per million by volume.

As a gigantic carbon sink, the ocean has taken up about a third of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by human activities.
