Is climate change real?

This position holds that climate change is real and driven by human carbon emissions. It argues that the science is clear and the evidence overwhelming — that climate models have proven accurate, that only human emissions explain the warming, and that even oil companies long knew it was real.

The data on global warming is unclear, and there are a lot of special interests pushing the idea of climate change for their own gain. Climate change is not really happening.

This position holds that we cannot know for sure whether climate change is real. It argues the data carries uncertainty and the climate is too vast to fully grasp—though climate scientists overwhelmingly agree that human-driven warming is in fact occurring.
