According to scientific data is climate change a reality?

Yes, according to overwhelming scientific evidence, climate change is a reality. The Earth's climate has been changing throughout its history, but the current changes in the climate are happening at an unprecedented rate and are largely driven by human activities.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a group of hundreds of climate scientists from around the world, has concluded that it is extremely likely (95-100% probability) that human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, are the main cause of the current warming of the planet.

This warming has led to a range of impacts, including melting glaciers and sea ice, rising sea levels, more frequent and intense heatwaves and extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and wildfires. These impacts have real and significant consequences for human societies and the natural world.

So, the scientific consensus is clear: climate change is a reality and urgent action is needed to mitigate its impacts and prevent further warming of the planet.
