Scientific Consensus and Evidence
The overwhelming majority of climate scientists agree that global warming is primarily caused by human activities:

IPCC Reports: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assesses scientific literature on climate change, providing comprehensive reports on its causes, impacts, and mitigation strategies.
Temperature Records: Long-term temperature records, satellite data, and ice core samples provide evidence of rising global temperatures and changing climate patterns over decades.
Mitigation Strategies and Solutions
Addressing global warming requires collective action at local, national, and international levels:
Transition to Renewable Energy: Accelerating the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy Efficiency: Improving energy efficiency in buildings, transportation, and industry lowers energy consumption and reduces carbon footprints.
Reforestation and Conservation: Protecting forests and restoring degraded lands enhance carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Policy and Regulation: Implementing policies, regulations, and international agreements (e.g., Paris Agreement) to limit emissions, promote sustainability, and support climate adaptation measures.
