Scientists overwhelmingly agree that the Earth's climate is changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to human activities. Evidence for this change is visible in rising global temperatures, melting glaciers and ice sheets, rising sea levels, more frequent and intense extreme weather events, ocean acidification, and disruptions to ecosystems. While the full extent of future impacts is still uncertain, many scientists warn that if current trends continue, we are likely to face increasingly severe consequences, including widespread displacement, food shortages, and escalating conflicts over resources. The question is no longer if climate change is happening, but rather how quickly it will intensify and what actions we can take to mitigate its effects.
