Summary

According to the authors, time-dependent correlations of the reconstructions with time-series records representing changes in greenhouse gas concentrations, solar irradiance, and volcanic aerosols suggest that each of these factors has contributed to the climate variability of the past 400 years, with greenhouse gases emerging as the dominant forcing during the twentieth century.
