Thought this was interesting - I didnt realize this was confirmed in the US FNCSA.
From the US Fourth National Climate Assessment:
Also, Carbon Brief has a nice video on attribution to temp.
Of course, this is all compiled by the top scientists in the field, so if you are an autodidact in an armchair with no actual working knowledge of this information, or just a libertarian partisan nut who gets his science from Fox News, YMMV.
From the US Fourth National Climate Assessment:
Chapter 3:
1. The likely range of the human contribution to the global mean temperature increase over the period 1951–2010 is 1.1° to 1.4°F (0.6° to 0.8°C), and the central estimate of the observed warming of 1.2°F (0.65°C) lies within this range (high confidence). This translates to a likely human contribution of 93%–123% of the observed 1951–2010 change. It is extremely likely that more than half of the global mean temperature increase since 1951 was caused by human influence on climate (high confidence). The likely contributions of natural forcing and internal variability to global temperature change over that period are minor (high confidence).
2. The science of event attribution is rapidly advancing through improved understanding of the mechnisms that produce extreme events and the marked progress in development of methods that are used for event attribution (high confidence).
