DISINFO: We have yet to prove global warming is real
SUMMARY
All this talk of global warming, which is allegedly caused by human activity, has yet to be proven. The Earth's climate is constantly changing, and moreover, we are now living in a short period of warming between the two ice ages, and there are plenty of reasons to be assured that the climate will be cooler in the coming centuries. This is a real threat to humanity.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative that climate change might not have been caused by human activity.
It is not true that science does not possess evidence of human impact on climate change. On the contrary, there is a strong consensus among publishing climate scientists that humans are responsible for climate change.
The cited era of living “in-between two ice ages”, known as “the Little Ice Age”, which began in roughly 1550 and ended around 1850, was an era when global temperatures fell everywhere. But this wasn’t global at all, and mostly lowered temperatures in western Europe and parts of North America.
What makes those older eras different from modern warming is coherence - that is to say that climate change is happening today just about everywhere at the same time.
This much faster warming corresponds with levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which have been increasing since the industrial revolution. So, when people talk about climate change today, they mean anthropogenic (man-made) climate change. This is the warming of Earth’s average temperature as a result of human activity, such as burning coal, oil and gas to produce energy to fuel our homes and transport and cutting down trees to produce the food we eat.
Preventing dangerous consequences of climate change is the key priority for the EU.
