Is Climate Change Real? Short Answer: Yes — But It’s Complicated.
2 minutes ago Anthony Watts
So, yes — the climate changes, and it always has. The debate isn’t about whether it changes, but why, how fast, and how much humans are influencing it today. The debate is also about how accurately we are able to detect temperature change, plus the overreliance on climate models to predict the future rather than actual data.
2. What the “Consensus” Says — and Where It Falls Short
The mainstream position (IPCC, NOAA, NASA, etc.) holds that recent warming — roughly 1.1°C since the late 1800s — is largely due to increased CO₂ from human activity, mainly fossil fuels.
But here’s the rub: this view is heavily dependent on climate models, which are notoriously uncertain. As someone with a meteorology background, I can tell you models struggle with cloud feedbacks, ocean cycles, solar variability, and regional forecasts — all of which are crucial to understanding climate.
