The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identifies carbon dioxide as a primary driver of global climate change [1], [2] and provides scientific assessments regarding its impact on global temperatures [3], [4]. Furthermore, IPCC experts analyze the dual effects of rising CO2 levels on the environment [5].

claimThe IPCC warns that unless CO2 emissions are reduced rapidly, global temperatures could exceed 2°C by the end of the century, which would cross critical planetary boundaries and lead to potentially catastrophic impacts.
measurementThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that global temperatures have risen by approximately 1.1°C since the late 19th century, a trend directly linked to rising CO2 levels.

quoteThe Geological Society of America concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2011), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2013), and the U.S. Global Change Research Program (2014) that global climate has warmed in response to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and that human activities are the dominant cause of the rapid warming since the middle 1900s.
claimThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that it is unequivocal that the increase of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere over the industrial era is the result of human activities and that human influence is the principal driver of many changes observed across the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere.

perspectiveDelphine Deryng, a Lead Author of the IPCC AR6 WGII, states that while rising CO2 is beneficial to an extent, one must consider all direct and indirect aspects of its effect on climate change.
