of greenhouse gases (including CO2) in the global warming claimed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is questioned by the scientific communities because
of large uncertainties in the mechanisms
of natural factors and anthropogenic activities and in the sources
of the increased atmospheric CO2 concentration.
