Is climate change real?
Yes. Climate change is real, it’s already happening, and humans are the primary cause.
Why scientists are sure:
•Temperatures are rising globally and across the oceans, measured by many independent datasets.
•Greenhouse gases (CO2, methane) from burning fossil fuels trap heat; this physics is well established.
•Glaciers and ice sheets are losing mass; sea level is rising; heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and wildfire conditions are becoming more frequent/intense.
•Natural drivers alone (like the sun or volcanoes) can’t explain the observed warming since the mid‑20th century; attribution studies point to human emissions as the main driver.
•There is overwhelming agreement among major scientific bodies and climate scientists on these points.
