Do you have to fight global warming?

Scientists and nations world-wide are 97% certain that global warming is being caused by human activities, mainly through burning fossil fuel and cutting down forests.

Is nature responsible for climate change?

No, climate scientists assure us that global warming is the recent rapid warming of the earth, caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. This burning releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, which is building up in the atmosphere. Global warming is the cause of the climate change.
