  It’s mostly caused by humans increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This causes more of the Sun’s energy to get trapped in the atmosphere which then causes warming. As the sea gets warmer, this causes many different effects resulting in melting ice caps and more extreme weather. More here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24021772
