| These causes are varied: periodic changes in the Earth's orbital parameters, formation and fragmentation of supercontinents, times of increased magmatic activity in the Earth's mantle, etc.. | |

|
 | |  |
| There are many direct and indirect evidence,and constantly being uncovered.All together make it very difficult to deny the conclusion that the planet warms,slowly but steadily,since at least a century | |
