Who are these scientists anyway?
The United Nations gathered scientists from all around the World to research the truth about climate change. These scientists collect an enormous amount of data, which they study and put into computers to come up with reports on the climate of past, present and future. The group of scientists is called The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
We have found out through this research that the earth’s average temperature over the course of millions of years has fluctuated between a cold 9° and a very hot 22° because of natural causes, such as changes in the earth’s orbit around the sun and in the earth’s axis, alterations in the sun’s activity and volcanic activity. Today the average world temperature is around 13°.
If we look back on data for the last 8,000 years we can see that the climate has been pretty stable allowing the ecosystems we live in today to develop. The temperature changes over the last 8,000 years has been minimal, moving no more that 1°C either up or down, every hundred years.
