From the Paper:

"The fact is that global warming, in its smallest stages, is a natural occurrence. Everyday gases such as carbon dioxide are released to warm the earth, allowing it to be a place that can be inhabited by all living things. However once the human element, became higher in population, the warming of the earth was easier to identify. Humans needed to heat their homes, clean their clothes, as well as light their homes. Instead of doing this naturally as had been done for centuries, electricity, gases, and aerosols were created to make human lives easier. All these things and many more have contributed to the increased temperatures of the planet and the profitability of it as well."
