A 2019 review of scientific papers found the consensus on the cause of climate change to be at 100%, [6] and a 2021 study concluded that over 99% of scientific papers agree on the human cause of climate change. [7] The small percentage of papers that disagreed with the consensus often contained errors or could not be replicated.
UNEP. The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the sixth in a series of reports which assess the available scientific information on climate change. Three Working Groups (WGI, II, and III) covered the following topics: The Physical Science Basis (WGI); Impacts, Adaptation ...
New study finds Earth warming at record rate, but no evidence of climate change accelerating. The rate Earth is warming hit an all-time high in 2023 with 92% of last year's surprising record ...
A related phenomenon driven by climate change is woody plant encroachment, affecting up to 500 million hectares globally. [231] Climate change has contributed to the expansion of drier climate zones, such as the expansion of deserts in the subtropics. [232] The size and speed of global warming is making abrupt changes in ecosystems more likely ...
Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) are climate change scenarios of projected socioeconomic global changes up to 2100 as defined in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on climate change in 2021. [2] They are used to derive greenhouse gas emissions scenarios with different climate policies. [3][4][5] The SSPs provide narratives describing ...
Future global warming potential for long lived drivers like carbon dioxide emissions is not represented. The scientific community has been investigating the causes of climate change for decades. After thousands of studies, it came to a consensus, where it is "unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land since pre ...
The state report paints a stark picture of California's escalating climate crisis and documents wide-ranging effects on weather, water and residents. Climate change is rapidly accelerating in ...
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
