Anthropogenic global warming is global warming caused by human activity, such as the production of greenhouse gases from factories and vehicles, methane emissions from cows, and the destruction of forests.
Political aspects
The U.S. Democratic Party considers anthropogenic global warming to be such a well-established danger to humanity that it supports the Kyoto Protocol. President Clinton and Vice-president Gore both stated repeatedly that "the science is settled", but Clinton refused to send the Kyoto treaty to the senate for confirmation. A senate resolution condemning Kyoto passed 95-0 (i.e., not a single Democratic senator voted for it).
