Burning carbon requires oxygen (O2), and when we burn an atom of carbon, the required oxygen becomes part of the CO2 molecule. So if the CO2 increase is caused by burning carbon (fossil fuels), we would expect atmospheric O2 levels to decrease at the same rate. And that's indeed what we observe (Figure 1).
Scientists say that because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, it is this increase that has caused average global temperatures to rise. So the question is whether this increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide and the resultant temperature rise are caused by human activities, and are therefore anthropogenic.
