I think it’s actually fairly easy to do when you correlate the rise in temperature to a rise in human industrial activity. As a previous comment mentioned, these processes are slooooow, like reeeeaally slow. The insane spike in global temperatures since the beginning of the industrial age is far too sharp to be attributed to normal interglacial activity, which I believe technically we should be exiting anyways. We’re becoming overdue for another glacial period but are staving it off and then some just with our own activities.
