Human-induced climate change is causing major consequences, including increased heavy rainfalls, droughts, and storms, at a cost to society and the environment.

Climate change caused by human activities is happening and it already has major consequences

Human-induced climate change, primarily caused by energy use and urbanization, is likely to continue for centuries, with disruptive impacts.

Modern Global Climate Change

The scientific consensus on human-caused climate change exceeds 99% in peer-reviewed scientific literature, with only four sceptical papers in a sub-set of 3000 publications.

Greater than 99% consensus on human caused climate change in the peer-reviewed scientific literature

Climate changes pose a significant threat to human welfare, health, and development, with major sectors like agriculture and industry facing severe impacts.

Review of Climate Change Impacts on Human Environment: Past, Present and Future Projections

The consensus that humans are causing global warming is shared by 90%-100 percent of publishing climate scientists, with 97% consensus in published climate research being robust and consistent with other surveys and peer-reviewed studies.

Consensus on consensus: a synthesis of consensus estimates on human-caused global warming

Local people in eastern Oregon agree that climate is changing, but don't necessarily agree on human-caused climate change, and support forest management to reduce wildfire risks without necessarily invoking human-caused climate change.

Does it matter if people think climate change is human caused

Reducing human population size through free access to contraception and financial incentives for smaller families can significantly reduce climate change and its impacts.

Human population growth is the root cause of climate change

Climate change will negatively impact human health, primarily through thermal stress, extreme weather events, and infectious diseases, but also through social, demographic, and economic disruptions.

Climate change and human health: present and future risks

Human activity, primarily through the production of greenhouse gases, is causing climate change, leading to more extreme and unpredictable weather.

Causes of Climate Change

Human emissions of greenhouse gases are the main cause of climate change, leading to global warming, weather extremes, and a host of negative impacts on ecosystems, human health, and global economic inequality.

CLIMATE CHANGE A REPERCUSSION OF HUMAN INDUCED SYSTEMS

Climate change negatively impacts human health through extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, and negative effects on food production, water availability, air quality, and ecosystem functions.

Climate change, environmental impact, and human health

Psychosocial factors, primarily through reproduction and consumption patterns, contribute to human climate change impacts, with ethical issues emerging when addressing these behavioral contributions.

Human behavioral contributions to climate change: psychological and contextual drivers.

Conventional mitigation efforts alone are insufficient to meet the Paris agreement targets, and alternative technologies like biogenic-based sequestration are needed for immediate deployment.

Strategies for mitigation of climate change: a review

Climate change may increase human infectious diseases, but proactive measures and better understanding of disease-specific effects can help control these health impacts.

Impact of climate change on human infectious diseases: Empirical evidence and human adaptation.

Human-induced climate change has led to regional changes in dry-season water availability, with some regions experiencing increased and some decreased water availability, mainly due to increased evapotranspiration rather than decreased precipitation.

Observed changes in dry-season water availability attributed to human-induced climate change

To promote wide-scale climate actions, broader system changes are needed, including addressing barriers to action and fostering public support for climate action.

Psychology of Climate Change.

Climate change is leading to a global redistribution of species, affecting economic development, food security, human health, and culture, necessitating a broader understanding of species movements in sustainable development strategies.

Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: Impacts on ecosystems and human well-being

Psychological research should inform efforts to address climate change by understanding human behavior and motivations, leading to more effective policies and adaptation responses.

Psychological research and global climate change

Climate-health relationships pose increasing health risks, with warming trends already contributing to increased morbidity and mortality in various regions.

Impact of regional climate change on human health

Climate change is intensifying human-wildlife conflicts by increasing resource scarcity and forcing people and wildlife to share increasingly crowded spaces, leading to increased frequency and severity of conflicts.

Human-wildlife conflict under climate change

These studies suggest that climate change is primarily caused by human activities, particularly through the emission of greenhouse gases, leading to significant environmental, health, and economic impacts.
