How do we know whether or not global warming is caused by humans?

A) From computer calculations that "predict" 20th-century temperatures based on natural variations, then on human-caused variations, and then on a mix of natural and human variations; the actual historical measurements then show that only natural variations are important. B) From experiments in which excess carbon is injected into a laboratory-created Earth-like atmosphere, and the resulting temperature is measured. C) From experiments in which a small experimental plot of forest is subjected to excess carbon, and the growth of the trees along with the temperature are then measured. D) From computer calculations that "predict" 20th-century temperatures, based on natural variations, then on human-caused variations, and then on a mix of natural and human variations; the actual historical measurements then show the importance of human variations. E) Actually, scientists have been unable to determine this.
