More Voices in the Climate Change Debate
The BBC has reported on another body of scientists adding their collective voice to the climate change debate.
This time it’s the AGU, the American Geophysical Union, the world’s largest organisation of earth & space scientists, that has revised its public policy to add further weight to the climate debate.
In December the AGU changed its official statement on climate change after years of activity in studying the effects and possible effects of climate change. The revised statement reflects the research from many of the AGU’s members supporting the effects of how climate change the planet. The AGU has 50,000 members in 137 countries.
The AGU has said that current climate change is “not natural” and can be best attributed to human activity and the pumping of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Carbon emissions should be cut by half by the end of the century, the AGU has warned.
