The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attributes observed climate fluctuations primarily to anthropogenic CO₂ emissions and claims that these emissions have caused a net radiative forcing of about 1 Wm-² (watt per square meter) since 1750, resulting in a global temperature increase of 0.8 to 1.1 °C.  This recent study challenges this claim and assesses it by contrasting climate fluctuations with unadjusted observational data and summarizing findings from the recent peer-reviewed literature.  It concludes that human CO₂ emissions constitute only 4% of the annual carbon cycle are dwarfed by natural fluctuations and processes – including temperature feedback loops, solar variability and oceanic dynamics – that offer a more consistent explanation of the observed trends.
