The scientific community has been investigating the causes of climate change for decades. After thousands of studies, the scientific consensus is that it is "unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land since pre-industrial times." [1]: 3 This consensus is supported by around 200 scientific organizations worldwide. [2]
