In the past, there were sceptics who either doubted global climate change altogether or who at least doubted that humanity was the cause, but today almost all scientists agree that a global warming trend is evident and caused by human activity. Though many of us understand that this means temperatures will-on average-rise, the science and the resulting social, economic, and political implications of such a change are far-reaching and complex.
