Scientific evidence indicates that modern warming is driven by CO2, contrary to Richard Lindzen’s claim

Climate change is not only evidenced by increased global average temperature, but also by increased ocean-heat content, Arctic sea ice decline and sea level rise. All of the scientific evidence, including observational datasets and climate models, indicates that the warming and disruption of Earth’s climate system since the onset of the industrial era is due to human emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2.

Link between CO2 and Earth’s temperature is well-established, despite claims on Fox News

The link between global warming and atmospheric CO2 levels is well-established; in fact, increases in CO2 have warmed the planet multiple times over the last million or so years. Science shows unambiguously that current climate change is caused by human-emitted greenhouse gases. Based on this knowledge, scientists are confident that any grand solar minimum will not result in a cooling trend, as changes in total solar irradiance are not projected to be enough to offset human-caused warming.

The Epoch Times prints a range of inaccurate and misleading claims about climate change’s impacts and causes

Climate change has led to a decades-long decline in Arctic sea ice, putting polar bears – and other Arctic organisms – at risk of significant population declines. Meanwhile, based on all existing evidence, scientists are confident that the buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is driving current climate change, which is leading to a range of negative impacts for plant, animal and human populations.

Scientific studies established clear links between human-caused increased in atmospheric CO2 and global warming

Atmospheric CO2 levels have increased by 47% since 1850, due to agricultural development, the burning of fossil fuels, and other human activities. Since 1950, approximately 100% of the global warming trend is attributed to increased CO2 emissions. Although CO2 has increased plant growth in some regions of the world, it can also negatively impact natural ecosystems and human societies.
