Some of the factors that have an affect on climate, like volcanic eruptions and changes in the amount of solar energy, are natural. Others, like the addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, are caused by humans.

Man, hope I never get a teacher like that one. Don 't have that kind of horror story ...yet.

Long ago and far away a researcher at a well known University was told to do some lecturing and to set an exam. He didn't want to- it got in the way of his research- and he said so. They told him to do it anyway.

He taught the course- badly. Then he set the exam- an absolute bastard by all accounts but, strictly within the rules.

 

They never asked him to teach again.

The University quietly "adjusted" people's marks.
