D. An increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Most climate scientists attribute recent global warming to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases (especially CO2 and methane) from human activities (fossil fuel burning, deforestation, etc.). Volcanic eruptions tend to cause short-term cooling, changes in the Sun and orbital cycles are too small or too slow to explain the recent rapid warming.
