This is what is stated... The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of
it is very likely human-induced.
Do you understand the science regarding why CO2 contributes to the greenhouse effect?

The evidence points to AGW, but I don't think it is proven by any means.

I guess we have all make up our own minds what to believe the causes of warming are, but it is undeniable that human activity has upset the natural balance of the earths carbon sequestration.
Natural sources of CO2 are balanced by natural carbon sinks, but the excess produced by human activity upsets that balance and ends up in the atmosphere.
