What is the difference between weather and climate?
What impacts have human activities had on the weather in the last century?
According to NASA, 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. That being said, there are plenty of people (not scientists) who refute the idea that human activity is causing global warming. Why do you think climate change/global warming is a controversial subject?
