Scientists
disagree whether human-made climate change or natural fluctuations are mostly
to blame for worse-than-expected heat in recent years.
Is global warming natural or is it brought by human actions?
We might not have the authority to ascertain this. But certain folks are sure that
humans are the source of global warming.
Temperatures over the past three years have been even higher than expected, provoking a
debate among scientists. Almost everyone agrees that global warming has
accelerated. But some researchers say it is speeding up even more than climate
models show, while others argue that the surge in temperatures is due to
natural fluctuations that will soon go away.
Depending
on who is right, we could have even less time than we thought to avoid or adapt
to catastrophic impacts.
