And it is something that there is a lot of discussion on. This is from the previous IPCC report (

The upcoming report will have more up to date info.

Very true, but it seems to be that the current trend has very little other source than our activities. We're taking millions and millions of years worth of biomass that has covered the earth and locked up chemicals over all that time and area and re-releasing that in the span of centuries.
The current trend is matches the predictions of doing that, and there are no other explanations for a natural process that can explain the current trend.
