Climate Change 2014

As the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says there is a strong scientific consensus that the global climate is changing and that human activity contributes significantly. This consensus is attested to by a joint statement signed in 2005 by 11 of the world’s leading national science academies representing Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. 
Their statement confirmed the likelihood of human-induced climate change. Many other science bodies have issued similar statements. Most of the scientific debate on climate change takes place through articles that climate scientists publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Peer review, while not perfect, is a highly effective system for ensuring that journals only accept articles that meet a good standard of scientific rigorand objectivity. 
Several surveys of the refereed literature on climate change science have confirmed that virtually all published papers accept the fundamentals of human-induced climate change.  Some of the following links provide further information about this issue and the demonstrations all around the world. Click on them to know more. We will talk about it in year 7 and 8.
