> The report shows that emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are responsible for approximately 1.1°C of warming since 1850-1900, and finds that averaged over the next 20 years, global temperature is expected to reach or exceed 1.5°C of warming. This assessment is based on improved observational datasets to assess historical warming, as well progress in scientific understanding of the response of the climate system to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

You can't really argue with climate skeptics, anti-vaxxers or flat earthers, they are wired to doubt and mistrust science.

Education and improved public messaging is the solution, and of course the removal of false and harmful content from social media.
