Is climate change real?
Yes. Earth’s climate is warming, and the main cause is human activity—especially greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and some industrial processes.
Key evidence:
•Global surface temperatures have risen about 1.1–1.3°C since late 1800s.
•Oceans are heating and acidifying; sea level is rising.
•Glaciers and Arctic sea ice are shrinking; snow cover is declining.
•Heat waves, heavy rainfall, wildfire weather, and some droughts are becoming more frequent or intense.
This is the consensus of climate scientists and national academies worldwide. If you’d like, I can share accessible reports and data sources.
