Consensus on Climate Change

Consensus on climate change means that the vast majority of scientists agree that human activities, like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, are causing the Earth’s climate to warm. This warming leads to changes such as rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and impacts on ecosystems. The agreement is supported by extensive research and data, and it guides global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to environmental changes. In essence, most experts concur that acting to address climate change is both necessary and urgent based on current scientific understanding.
