    The document discusses opposing viewpoints on the cause of climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change established by the UN concludes that climate change poses a major problem caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. However, Professor Richard Lindzen disagrees with this assessment, arguing that climate change is not primarily man-made and that the IPCC lacks proof that human activity is significantly impacting the climate. While CO2 emissions are rising, the professor believes the temperature increase will be minor over the next century.

    CHAPTER-02

    Climate change, Fact or Fiction


    Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) created by United Nations is a panel which
    establish every research related to climate change. IPCC has established that climate change is
    a major problem. This panel has suggested that climate change is caused by human activities.
    Professor Richard Lindzen disagreed to this report of IPCC saying that climate change is not
    man-made. He explained that many years ago before impact of CO2, the temperature has
    increased only a bit. When we had about 4 Trillion tons of fossil carbon we burned half trillion
    tons since now but if we continue to burn the fossils we will reach at the end of fossil fuels.
    But we will never cut the use of fossils. 34 National Scientific Academies have signed in the
    IPCC agreement that says climate change is caused by Greenhouse gases emitted by human
    activities. Either these countries have some strong political relations or these countries are
    being pressured by other countries.

    Professor Richard is totally against the IPCC report that climate change is caused by humans.
    Although CO2 is released by human activities but according to professor it has not severe
    effects on the climate. He explained that IPCC don’t have any proofs of their researches that
    climate is changed by human activities. About 1100 tons of CO2 is being released every single
    second. This much concentration will only increase a bit degrees in a century. The Professor
    defends humanity in a very ethical way while IPCC only accuses humans for climate change.
