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: -False. Scientists agree about the possible effects of global warming. Scientists have made statements that conflict with the scientific consensus on global warming endorsed by other scientific bodies. The complete scientific consensus is global average surface temperature risen over to last century.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions.
