Climate Change Demystified

In the latest survey, 69,402 out of 69,406 climate change researchers agree that human activity is causing global warming.

"It’s about disrupting fundamental earth processes. They’re not stable. 
These systems have the capacity to be very unstable, when you poke the climate system with a sharp stick." Dr Sarah Myhre
