Pete Etchells answered on 1 May 2012:
It’s quite a contentious issue, and there are lots of political arguments about whether it exists and whether it is man-made or not. I don’t really know too much of the research that’s involved, and being a scientist at heart, I’m usually reluctant to come to a conclusion about something until I’ve learnt as much as I can about it. That being said, I think that the general scientific consensus is that we are in a period of higher-than-average temperatures, and it seems reasonable to suggest that man is probably having an impact upon that. As for how, I don’t know! What do you think?

I think that it does, though in some parts of the world there are more places directly effected by it, though we only see half the story, but it’s an interesting one!
