As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

The Heritage Foundation is a think-tank located on 214, Massachusetts Avenue, Washington DC, right next to the US Supreme Court and Congress.

It is the richest conservative think-tank in the United States. It's funded by wealthy families and major US corporations including Exxon, Chevron, Koch Industries and Philip Morris. The chairman of the Heritage Foundation is billionaire Barb Van Andel-Gaby.

The Heritage Foundation is considered very close to the White House. Many Trump administration staffers were hired directly from the Heritage Foundation.

Der Spiegel held an exclusive interview with Diana Furchtgott-Roth, one of the leading authors of "Project 2025".
