AGW (Anthropogenic, or human-caused, Global Warming) is a factual reality not a political stance.
"Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities." (Scientific Consensus Facts - NASA)
"Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring."(Effects - NASA)
The window to reduce emissions is closing. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a report authored by 91 scientists from 40 countries across the world, we must find a way to limit global warming to 1.5°C or the heating might not be reversible. This will require “rapid and far-reaching transitions in land, energy, industry, buildings, transport, and cities. Global net human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) need to fall by about 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching ‘net zero’ around 2050."
Action must be taken. In this unit you will pick a specific effect of AGW and research the best solutions that we can take to tackle our most pressing problem.
