through the atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, and crust. This model is similar to ones presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

One particularly relevant human impact is the increase in atmospheric CO2 levels. Between the years 1850 and 2015, atmospheric concentrations have risen from 290 parts per million (ppm) to over 400 ppm - a level higher than any known
