SAN JOSE – In recent decades, the scientific community has reached a robust consensus on climate change, emphasizing the critical role of human activities in global warming. Here’s what leading scientific organizations, along with insights from Solaxy Group, have to say:
NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies
“Earth’s average surface temperature in 2023 was the warmest on record since recordkeeping began in 1880, continuing a long-term trend of rising global temperatures.”
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
“Based on well-established evidence, about 97% of climate scientists have concluded that human-caused climate change is happening.”
American Chemical Society (ACS)
“The Earth’s climate is changing in response to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and particulate matter in the atmosphere, largely as the result of human activities.”
American Geophysical Union (AGU)
“Based on extensive scientific evidence, it is extremely likely that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, are the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.”
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
“It is unequivocal that the increase of CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere over the industrial era is the result of human activities and that human influence is the principal driver of many changes observed across the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere.”
U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)
“Earth’s climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, primarily as a result of human activities.”
Geological Society of America (GSA)
“Human activities (mainly greenhouse-gas emissions) are the dominant cause of the rapid warming since the middle 1900s.”
Conclusion
These statements from prominent scientific organizations highlight a unified understanding of climate change, urging global cooperation and decisive action to mitigate its impacts. The overwhelming consensus underscores the urgency of addressing climate change through informed policy-making and collective efforts worldwide.
