The document discusses whether global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gas concentrations from human activity or natural processes like variations in solar activity. It aims to identify if increased anthropogenic greenhouse gases have measurably increased temperatures and whether natural factors could also explain warming. The hypothesis is that fluctuations in the solar cycle have warmed the Earth. It will obtain temperature, greenhouse gas, and solar data to analyze annually and determine the strongest cause of temperature changes to inform potential solutions.

1. By Jesse Diaz Global Warming an Inconvenient Truth?

2. Theme Is global warming due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentration?

3. Problem Human activities contribute to global warming by enhancing Earth's natural greenhouse effect. Natural processes could have caused global warming Solar variation

4. Objective Identify if the increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentration has actually made a measurable difference in the temperature. Research if natural processes could have caused global warming.

5. Greenhouse gases Gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. Common greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.

6. Greenhouse effect

7. Hypothesis Fluctuations in the solar cycle have increased the Earth's global temperature.

8. Methodology Obtaining Data Satellite temperature measurements. Radiance energy wave length. Measurement of greenhouse gases emissions. Measurements from Antarctic ice cores Industrial and anthropogenic emissions Solar irradiance measurement and calculations Annual data analysis

9. Long-term goals The highest measurable cause of the temperature change. Depending on the result, figure out a solution if necessary.
