Greenhouse gas emissions are directly linked to human activity as the primary driver of modern climate change, as established by scientific consensus [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, global scientific bodies emphasize that reducing these emissions is necessary to mitigate the warming effects caused by human activities [4].

claimThe peer-reviewed scientific literature shows greater than 99% agreement that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the principal driver of modern climate change since the Industrial Revolution.
claimAlternative explanations for the dominant cause of modern, post-industrial climate change, other than rising greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, are exceedingly rare in the peer-reviewed scientific literature.

perspectiveThe science academies of 17 countries concurred in 2001 that global temperatures are rising and will continue to rise due to human activities, and they stressed the importance of cutting greenhouse gas emissions, concluding that "Business as usual is no longer a viable option."
claimThe scientific consensus holds that it is unequivocal and incontrovertible that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities have caused warming on land, in oceans, and in the troposphere, with no natural processes providing an alternate explanation.
