Sorry. The correct scientific answer is: Mostly increasing carbon dioxide.
The "greenhouse effect" is mostly natural and caused mostly by water vapor. It's essential to our civilization.
"Global warming" is excessive greenhouse effect mostly caused by man's production of carbon dioxide. It's very dangerous to our civilization. Rich countries will spend a huge amount of money coping. In poor countries many people will die of starvation due to damage to agriculture. We need to reduce man's contribution to the greenhouse effect, "global warming".

Politics is causing global warming. It is, after all, a seemingly undefined term invented for the purpose of motivating people to change their thoughts and behaviors.

global warming doesnt exist...do you know it is only 20% of the scientists that believe global warming is true....the other, just as educated 80% understand that the earth goes through various cycles...did you know, that not more than 25 years ago, many scientist thought we were headed for another ice age...so just chill...concentrate on the things that they dont want you to see, not what they try to put infront of you to blind you from reality!

Changes in the sun's activity -- (indirectly) causing fewer clouds to form -- causing warmer weather. Natural cycle of things. The earth goes through ice ages and heat waves....

Man ruining the earth. Man causes pollution, pollution changes the weather. Does everyone see now that we cannot rule ourselves but need God's Kingdom to bring the only solution to mankind's problems?
