How do we know climate change is real? You'll need to examine ancient ice cores and supercomputer modeling to find out whether humans are really responsible for climate change.

ClimateScience is a UK registered charity, run by over 150 enthusiastic young volunteers. Our mission is to empower people to contribute to climate solutions.

“We have known since the early 1900s that when we burn carbon-based materials, like coal or oil, CO2 is released. »:

“We have also known since the 1850s that CO2 is capable of trapping heat. »:

“We have actually been able to measure parts per million of CO2 over the last 800,000 years! »:

“We know this from the study of ancient ice cores”:

“By analyzing these tiny trapped air bubbles and knowing their depth, we can learn more about the concentration of CO2 in the air at any given time in the past! »:

“Thanks to these ice cores, we can be almost sure that the concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere today is higher than it has been in the last 800,000 years.”

“We also know that the rate at which CO2 ppm is increasing is higher than past rates. »

“Today, scientists around the world have installed measuring towers and ocean buoys to record global temperatures 24/7. And guess what? These temperatures have continued to increase. »:

“We have seen the retreat of glaciers, a reduction in snow cover, a decline in Arctic sea ice and a resulting rise in sea levels. »:
https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

“From these models, it is clear that the global changes we are currently witnessing cannot be explained by natural phenomena. »:
