Countering misinformation Climate change myth or misconception More accurate climate/environmental information “The climate has changed before. It has noth- ing to do with humans.”
Many factors can change the climate. Right now human activities, especially burn- ing fossil fuels and the destruction of ecosystem resilience, are the major factors. Ninety-seven per cent of scientists agree that climate change is happening and is human-driven, and over 99.9 per cent of studies confirm those positions. Climate change is increasing the overall frequency, erratic occurrences and inten- sity of dangerous weather events like storms, droughts and high temperatures. Because humans are driving climate change, humans can slow it down by doing fewer of the things that cause it and finding different ways to get what we need and want.
“Scientists are still debating climate change.”
“There have always been natural disasters. What we’re seeing now is no different.” “There’s nothing we can do about climate change.”
