Climate Change

Is it Real or Fake?

What is Climate Change?
Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, forests are dying, and wildlife is
scrambling to keep pace. Humans have caused most of the past century’s
warming by releasing heat-trapping gases that we use to power our modern
lives, these are called greenhouse gases.
Why people think it’s not real
Acknowledging climate change involves accepting certain facts. Yet being
concerned about climate change involves connecting these facts to values.
On the one hand, it reminds us that deniers are capable of acknowledging the
science – at some level, they already do – even though they struggle to
embrace the practical and ethical implications. On the other hand, not all
deniers will be convinced. Some deemphasizing and discount climate change
precisely because they recognise that the low-emissions transition will adversely
impact their interests. A bombardment of further facts and framings is unlikely to
move them.
Evidence
Real proof
Global temperature rise of climate change
The planet's surface temperature has risen about 0.9 degrees Celsius since
the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and
other human-made emissions into the atmosphere. Most of the warming
occurred in the past 35 years, with the nine warmest years on record have
been taking place since 2010. Not only was 2019 the warmest year on record, but
during eight of the 12 months that make up the year - from January through
September (with the exception of June), were the warmest on record for those
respective months.
Shrinking Ice Sheets
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from
NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost an
average of 286 billion tons of ice per year between 1993 and 2016, while
Antarctica lost about 127 billion tons of ice per year during the same time
period. The rate of Antarctica ice mass loss has tripled in the last decade.
What are the objectives of our project.
The objectives of our project is to raise awareness and to inform others of the
severity of climate change and what the problems of today are and the
solutions that are being brought into motion.
