Quotation from page 3, NASA scientific consensus: "Among abstracts that expressed a position on AGW [Anthropogenic, or human-cause, Global Warming], 97.1% endorsed the scientific consensus. Among scientists who expressed a position on AGW in their abstract, 98.4% endorsed the consensus.”
1. What is climate change?
Explain what climate change is?
Climate is describes the long term weather patterns in particular or numerous areas. Weather patterns included the temperature or the average temperature, precipitation patters over a certain amount of time/cycle, amount of sunshine, average wind speeds, number of extremely cold days, snow and weather extremes /local geography.

Theses changes often refer to on large change; the trapping of excess carbon in the Earths atmosphere. When this carbon is trapped ‘carbon pollution heats up and alters the Earth's climate patterns. The largest source of this pollution is the burning of fossil fuels (such as coal and oil) for energy.

The Carbon Cycle in which carbon has entered the atmosphere for millions of years through natural events such as forest fires and volcanoes, animals, the burning of fossil fuels and clearing of land has resulted in the highest levels of greenhouse pollution in our atmosphere in the last 800,000 years as empirical information suggests.
Compare climate change with the concept of global warming?
“To a scientist, global warming describes the average global surface temperature increase from human emissions of greenhouse gases. Its first use was in a 1975 Science article by geochemist Wallace Broecker of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory:” "Climatic Change: Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming? (1 Wallace Broecker, "Climatic Change: Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?" Science, vol. 189 (8 August 1975),
