Climate skeptics” argue that humans are not causing climate change. Are they right?
An international body of scientists, the IPCC, recently wrote that there is a 90% chance that humans are responsible for climate change. This is the “consensus” opinion of most practicing scientists. Scientists regularly disagree with each other about many matters and some scientists remain vocal in their criticisms of the IPCC. The opinions of these skeptics are a healthy part of international debate. The website realclimate.org is a useful website for reading about mainstream scientific responses to the skeptics. We encourage you to read widely and draw your own conclusions.
