I'm not going to argue mans effect on the climate of our planet, but the definition is close to what I wrote. Public perception immediately links 'man made' and 'global warming', but the term 'global warming' doesn't refer to any specific cause. It is the effect of some cause which could be geological, astronomical, man made, or a combination of all three.
