Global Warming Hoax?Scientific global warming - What does the scientific community say about Global Warming?
Scientific global warming - The first indications that there may be a climate problem came in the early 1970s, when some scientists noticed that some climate cycles appeared to be accelerating. Despite the 1970s being comparatively cool, by the late 1970s, pioneering scientists were warning about a global warming.
By the early 1980s, more evidence was coming to light and early indications were suggesting that this global warming was a result of human activities. More scientists and meteorologists started researching into the risks of global warming.
By the late 1980s, enough scientists were starting to highlight a potential problem that the world wide community needed to start collating this information effectively and be an objective source for this information.
Policy makers in Government and business needed an objective source of information, to understand the potential environmental and socio-economic consequences of global warming.
To answer this need, the World Meteorological Organisation and the United Nations Environment Programme set up a new scientific intergovernmental body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988, to do precisely this task.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a scientific based body. However, it does not conduct research itself, nor does it monitor climate related data or parameters. Its role is to comprehensively assess the latest scientific, technical and socio-economic documentation produced worldwide on both climate change and its observed and projected impacts with a neutral bias.
The IPCC has found Global Warming to be real and this is very likely due to the rising levels of Carbon Dioxide caused by burning fossil fuels and
deforestation.
