Edmund: The IPCC is not a body of scientists. It is mainly made up of politicians. That 90% probability you are talking about is just a lot of smoke and mirrors. The IPCC gets its funding because of the threat of Climate Change. No threat of Climate Change no IPCC.
Quote by Martin Keeley, geology scientist: “Global warming is indeed a scam, perpetrated by scientists with vested interests, but in need of crash courses in geology, logic and the philosophy of science.”
Quote by Eduardo Tonni, paleontologist, Committee for Scientific Research, Argentina: “The [global warming] scaremongering has its justification in the fact that it is something that generates funds.”
Quote by George Kukla, climatologist, research scientist with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University: "The only thing to worry about is the damage that can be done by worrying. Why are some scientists worried? Perhaps because they feel that to stop worrying may mean to stop being paid."
Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic processes (such as oceanic circulation), biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions, and human-induced alterations of the natural world; these latter effects are currently causing global warming, and "climate change" is often used to describe human-specific impacts.
There’s more than a 90% probability that human activities over the last 250 years have warmed the planet. That’s according to the 2007 Assessment Report by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – an organisation made up of thousands of independent scientists worldwide. Likewise, WWF’s Living Planet Report, concludes that humanity’s overconsumption of food, material goods, fossil fuels, and non-renewable resources is putting a huge toll on the planet, exceeding its capacity to sustain us. Forests absorb and remove CO2 from the atmosphere. So areas undergoing excessive deforestation experience higher carbon emissions. Agriculture is the second largest greenhouse gas emitter after fossil fuels. Methane produced by livestock, manure management, the burning of savannah, and the conversion of forests to pasture land are all major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. WWF details the environmental impacts of agriculture on climate change, water supplies, habitat loss and more.

Scientists actively work to understand past and future climate by using observations and theoretical models. Borehole temperature profiles, ice cores, floral and faunal records, glacial and periglacial processes, stable isotope and other sediment analyses, and sea level records serve to provide a climate record that spans the geologic past. More recent data are provided by the instrumental record. Physically based general circulation models are often used in theoretical approaches to match past climate data, make future projections, and link causes and effects in climate change.
When the climate in a certain area changes over a certain period of time i.e. when the dinosaurs were around the climate in Spain for example was tropical, now it is Mediterranean or warm temperate oceanic.
Change in the climate is the earth's environmental process. Today, there are uneven changes noticed all over the globe due to global warming, CO emission, etc.
Climate Change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather, over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years.
its when weather changes over a period of time. climate means weather over a period of time so what if it changes ?
the climate change is changing of different season.
It is not what you have been told to believe. It is not a hurricane during hurricane season, not a flood in Bangladesh, it isn't a sandstorm in Sydney, it isn't a drought in Texas, it isn't someone threatening that unless something is done to keep people from using fossil fuels bad weather will be the result.
