Climate Science Fact or Fiction Friday

Welcome to the second installment of Fact or Fiction Friday. This is an opportunity to set the record straight on some of the regular arguments used by sceptics. See my first Fact or Fiction post for the usual disclaimer.

Get your game faces on because it's about to get ugly.

Fact or Fiction: Earth's climate has changed long before we were pouring CO2 into the atmosphere.

Wait for it. Wait for it. Fact but if the planet accumulates heat, global temperatures will go up. Currently, CO2 is imposing an energy imbalance due to the enhanced greenhouse effect and therefore capturing more heat in the atmosphere.

Also wanted to draw your attention to this latest study on the links between human activity and climate change.

Stay tuned for next week's installment of Fact or Fiction Friday. I also hope to put out a piece that explains the science of climate change in greater detail beforehand. You can't wait, can you?
