Bratcher and Giese conclude: "The results presented here do not preclude the possibility that anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gases have contributed to global warming. However the results do indicate that the human forced portion of global warming may be less than previously described."
* The [[IPCC Fourth Assessment Report]] states that human actions are "very likely" the cause of most global warming, meaning a 90% or greater probability that more than 50% of observed warming is attributable to human actions.
