How Much Does Human Activity Affect Climate Change?

Scientists trying to find out what’s causing climate change work like detectives, gathering evidence to rule out some suspects and to ascertain just who is responsible. It’s clear, based on over a century of scientific investigation, that humans are responsible for most of the climate change we’ve seen over the last 150 years. Humans are not the only suspects. The climate has changed throughout the Earth’s history, well before humans evolved. The Sun is the primary driver of the climate. Global Warming Natural Cycle — OSS Foundation. Is global warming a natural cycle?

Global Warming Natural Cycle — OSS Foundation

Or is global warming affected by human influence? What does the science say? Both are true. In the natural cycle, the world can warm, and cool, without any human interference. For the past million years this has occurred over and over again at approximately 100,000 year intervals. The difference is that in the natural cycle CO2 lags behind the warming because it is mainly due to the Milankovitch cycles. Where are we currently in the natural cycle (Milankovitch cycle)? The natural cycle is understood by examining the paleo records.

Global Climate Change: Research Explorer

There’s no doubt that the climate is growing warmer currently; indications of that change are all around us. Though climate change isn’t new, the study of how human activity affects the earth’s climate is. The exploration of climate change encompasses many fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and even sociology. At this Web site, you can explore scientific data relating to the atmosphere, the oceans, the areas covered by ice and snow, and the living organisms in all these domains. You’ll also get a sense of how scientists study natural phenomena—how researchers gather evidence, test theories, and come to conclusions. ELI: Climate Change: Instructional Resources.
