On this graph, the black curve represents actual temperature measurements, the red curve represents models of the climate that include human emissions of greenhouse gases, and the blue curve represents models of the climate that include only natural factors but do not include human emissions of greenhouse gases. What is the key message that can be read from this graph?

A) Models support the conclusion that human emissions are driving global warming. B) Different climate models give different predictions about how much global warming should be occurring. C) Climate models can successfully reproduce Earth's climate for the first half of the 20th century, but after that, they are unable to account for actual temperature data. D) Although some models support the idea that global warming is caused by human activity, other models do not and the cause therefore remains controversial.
