Today's climate change, not that of, say, past ice ages?

answer A.

[Wickerman]

The answer is 'A'.

There are several factors which demonstrate mankind's contribution to the sudden increase in atmospheric temperatures.
The most significant of which is the increase in CO2, and our contribution has been identified by specific isotopes which are solely the product of the burning of fossil fuels.
No other life form is responsible for the burning of fossil fuels.

Sadly, even green websites such as ours still get deniers questioning what's right in front of their faces. It's sad really.

Andy: Oh man, its so warm out.  Global warming, am I right?

See that's the thing that most don't understand.
Cold, bitter blizzard winters are a part of the changing climate.
It's not just about 102 degrees in the shade in a place.
It also includes more flooding and more tornadoes.

That's why it's called climate change.
