GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change.

Detailed explanation-2: -The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation from the piles of the earth’s surface. Climate scientists believe that the enhancement of the greenhouse effect is the major cause of climate change on earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy, increases in wind and solar power, biofuels from organic waste, setting a price on carbon, and protecting forests are all potent ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases trapping heat on the planet.

Detailed explanation-4: -Scientists and engineers from around the world have compiled this evidence using satellites, weather balloons, thermometers at surface stations, and many other types of observing systems that monitor the Earth’s weather and climate.
