I think that there's just not sufficient evidence either way to draw a conclusion, but personally i think human's economic growth can't yet be blamed
.

Human influence at least doubled the risk of last year's Europe-wide heatwave. That is the conclusion of leading scientists who say they are more than 90% sure of the fact. The research, published in Nature magazine, is a significant milestone on the road to establishing liability for climate change damage.
It boosts the argument that greenhouse gas emissions have increased temperatures both globally and regionally, and it brings nearer the day when courts will be asked to decide where liability lies.


This "detection and attribution science", as it is known, lies behind the many efforts of lawyers and campaigners around the world to enforce the law to combat the causes and impacts of climate change.

In 2001, the world's scientists said that globally, most of the warming was due to human activities. Since then, at least three peer-reviewed papers have revealed human influence on regional temperatures; human influence, found for the first time, on a climate variable other than temperature - sea-level pressure; and now "the first successful attempt to detect man-made influence on a specific extreme climatic event", according to Christoph Schär, at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science in Zurich, and Gerd Jendritzky, of the German Weather Service.

The courts have already responded positively to these findings. The legal relevance of climate change has now been accepted by US and Australian judges in cases where decisions leading to more coal mining and electricity transmission were found to be illegal. And a Californian appeals judge has rejected the idea that "injury to all is injury to none" where "global environmental impact is threatened by a federal statutory wrong".
