As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Doesn't that still mean extinction of nearly all life on earth? What's with the headline saying "safe levels"?
"relativly safe levels" is 2 degrees, as we did have that a 120,000 years ago without too much of a problem and it going back down again. Save would be 1.5 degrees.
