The Trump administration wants Americans to believe that we don’t know how much of global warming is due to human causes, such as the burning of fossil fuels.
But the landmark climate report released Sunday says that we do know. Indeed, while the world’s foremost scientific panel on climate change (the IPCC) had concluded back in 2013 that humans are responsible for all of the warming we have suffered since 1950 — now they have extended that back to 1850.
These findings are so uncontroversial that every major country, including the United States, literally approved them line-by-line.
Yet, while these conclusions are not in dispute among scientists or the world’s leading governments, they have been repeatedly disputed by President Donald Trump’s team of climate science deniers.
